My Collection ...so far. Cafe Racer, Detroit & Teamster

[technovox]

Nice collection! I'm really liking the cafe racer. From my perspective, it looks like it fits perfectly. If it was up to me, I'd keep it. It takes a while and some effort to get a horsehide to that wonderful broken in condition. Why start all over?

 

[Seb Lucas]

Yeah, to my eye the cafe racer fits best and looks best.

 

[Doctor Damage]

Yeah, to my eye the cafe racer fits best and looks best.

100% agree with this, superb fit. Do NOT get rid of that coat.

I thought the comment about Perfecto's being too commonplace was funny. It must be a local thing. I haven't seen anyone in my part of the world on a bike (or nowhere near a bike) wearing a Perfecto-style jacket since the 1980s!

I really like them all. Mainly because they all fit and look good on you. Different jackets for different moods and occasions.
Cafe racer does not look big in the picture. How it feels could be another thing. I see many Perfectos as I hang with musicians a lot and they fit rock and roll/music. Actually most any good leather jacket does. I have one myself.

OK, Here is a quick "selfie" of the Alexander Leathers 4 pocket Roadster. Size 42 in Smooth Steerhide, Black.

I would have preferred a 3 pocket, but this was a sale item. Basically after I returned my original custom Roadster order due to incorrect sizing, I was able to get both the Detroit and this 4 pocket roadster pretty much for the same money as the 1 custom order so I can put up with the extra pocket

It was really comfortable out of the box, I was a little worried about ordering "boring" steerhide as I've become a bit of a horsehide snob lol but I'll be damned if it isnt a really really nice leather.

I've said it before, if you don't have your heart set on FQHH, you would be a fool not to consider Alexander Leathers, cheaper pricing, faster production....its great to have options...

reminds me of the Lost Worlds Suburban
Great fit and look on you!

This thread is a blast from the past...... the crazy thing is, I don't have a single one of these jackets still....every one of them moved on

[ProteinNerd]

During winter which is now my alpaca lined Long Hercules is getting a workout, other wise it my premier half belt and then spread amongst my various cafe racers. Sadly the bootlegger probably gets the least atm

 

[mendelboaz]

I say it's time for some pics of your updated collection!

 

[Bunyip]

That STF bootlegger is superb. One of fave jackets on here. My herc is getting flogged right now. I absolutely love it.

Lookin' good PN!
Welcome back Ben!

 

[Fanch]

Quite a collection you have there @ProteinNerd! Way to go. I am particularly partial to the look and fit of the Aero Cafe Racer. Now you need to order a seal Vicenza Sheene to compliment the black CR.

 

[Bunyip]

Far out Martin....how on earth do you decide what to wear? Cheers Mike!

That's a nice stable of jackets PN! Versatile and all great fits. But hold on I can't type that well b/c foot so far up own ass for selling my BL...

 

[TREEMAN]

Great collection PN. They all fit well and look good!!

 

[ProteinNerd]

Far out Martin....how on earth do you decide what to wear? Cheers Mike!

Lol some days it does take me a while to decide....but it is a good "problem" to have I guess [emoji6]

The only downside is I can't really justify any more....apart from the GoodWear in queued for (and that damn Sheene I Should have got as one of my first) .....then I'm done, I swear!

A lesser guy would say I told you so [emoji6]

 

[AeroFan_07]

"Then I'm done, I swear..." Yes, I've spoken these famous last words before too!

But hey, there's a lot worse addictions out there....

 

[dudewuttheheck]

damn, that brown Aero cafe racer on the first page looks incredible!!! I usually don't like the chromexcel FQHH, but that looks epic.
