Midnight Blue cafe Racer arrives....

[Carlos840]

Same dude. I purchased my J23 from Stuart and he asked if he could post the photo.
Now I am immortalized in the Lost World's website time Capsule !!

That makes you manlier than any of us could ever dream of!
Almost a god amongst men...

LOLLLLLLL !!!!!

Dead boar?! PLEASE.....

J23 kill

 

[sweetfights]

Nice. Would love to see an update pic of the j-23 with some miles on it.

Sold it. No regrets- great jacket but not my style......
It was 3.5 oz and amazing leather and construction.

I get it. I really lust after the design in pictures but don’t really think i’m a rider type guy, even on the bike.
Speaking of nice leather, like the Cairns too.

Exactly- I loved the style but had to wear it to find out it was not for me.

Granted I’m looking at this on my phone but I could swear that is Black FQHH! Love the jacket particularly the sleeve zips and the removal of the shoulder gussets. Any other mods, added length perhaps?

J23 kill? Did they make your jacket out of the bear?

 

[Monitor]

Not the best photo's.
Ton is absolutely correct.
The subtle shades are difficult to see with the naked eye let alone photograph.
I swear this is black cxl fqhh. But it is not. Character in the color and grain.
Fit is what I was hoping for. View attachment 115764 View attachment 115765 View attachment 115766 View attachment 115767 View attachment 115768

Thank you..... Love it.
Tried the Lost Worlds J100 in 3oz horse. Superior leather but the shoulders were too narrow- similar to Aero Board Racer.
I knew from Monitor's exceptional and thick FQHH Cordovan Aero Cafe Racer what to expect from fit.

Size 40.
Sleeve zips on top.
27 inch sleeve length.
26 inch back length.
Added one left side internal pocket- non closure.
Straight back yoke.
Delete external/internal kidney panel.
Kept shoulder gussets.
Delete hand warmers.
Greater splay for start of bottom zipper.

LOL- That would be a game changer. Provide your own leather, they make the jacket.

That's it! I was like, "damn, this guy looks familiar, where the heck have I seen this guy."

Sweetfights, congratulations! Looks really cool!
Btw, you and Ton312 both have always such a cool athletic fit, that I suppose you both might take a part into competitions like Arnold Classic))

Great, great jacket! Really happy to see how well it came out. The beauty of that hide is the color change it experiences as you wear the jacket. Over time, I believe the blue/green tones will be easier to see in different lighting. Such a great hide and excellent fit.

Congrats man!

You sir are very kind.
If Ton gains any more muscle he will have to upgrade all his jackets !!

Thanks.
I could not be happier and do really look forward to the changes over time.

Well, if so - sir, I've already known what jacket I'd buy from Ton right now - the Bootlegger!)
Actually, I think you and Ton both don't need to gain some more weight and mass - you both look enough massive for Arnold Classic)
If only you are going to take a part into mr. Olympia... Why not?)
Seriously, you and Ton have now possibly the best Cafe Racer's fit ever! Excellent!

Wear the hell out of it sweets. Mine looked exactly the same when it arrived but it didn't take long to morph. It first became a grayish/blue then I began to see lots of dark green in it. I was never able to successfully catch the color in a photo. It was delightfully frustrating.

 

[sweetfights]

Ton.
The dark green emerald tones yours exhibited was amazingly curious. Never imagined that from a midnight blue. The midnight blue description does not do it justice at all. Ironic.

 

[ton312]

Especially noticeable around the handwarmer.

 

[handymike]

I think I'm sold on this color!
