Hey guys,
I wanted to show you my new jacket from Simmons Bilt.
It's their Drifter model.
The ordering process was smooth, Debs there is great advices. She sent me leather samples for free, which helped me decide which hide to choose.
I wanted a heavy leather, with a rich color, something that age nice, with a cool patina. So i went for their Havana CXL Steer.
It took 6 weeks to build, and 4 days to arrive (from Scotland to France).
Damn, that thing is the best jacket i ever had. I'm sad everyday when i have to take it off.
It already starts to show some wear and patina, which is awesome. It gets better and better everyday!
Here are the pics, jacket is a week old.

Apart from the reputation of SB they are making high quality jackets and your Drifter looks cool and has already a nice patina. I'm still searching for fit pics....I guess I've overlooked it or my browser cannot show them ;-) Anyway, congrats!

I'll take fit pics later today, when the wife is home to handle the camera!

Congratulations on a beautiful jacket Viv!
That Havana steerhide has a wonderful warm tone that I think will only get better with time.
