It took me forever to actually find the darn thing to figure out what it was, but Mojave without a question. Not black though.


EDIT: still haven't actually found the Mojave on the GW website. Is it still a thing?

I say keep the cuff straps..they make the jacket...IMO.
...but what do you like bretron? Get the jacket that stands out to you..and suits your style...not neccessarily the favorite of some poll here. [huh]

without a doubt. To me, the Arcadia seems like the right pattern, tho maybe with the cuff straps :lol:. I like the smaller biswing sleeves, double pockets and detail of the piping (I think!)... The Ventura on the other hand has a very timeless, sleek design (in the same way that cafes are appealing),, but with the added detail of the cuff straps.

Thanks. Very cool jacket. Very similar to the Aero Bootlegger. I like the asymmetrical design without all the straps and buckles of a more standard motorcycle jacket.

I'm pretty sure these "aviators" were the beta to the classic double rider motorcycle jackets. I love em, though I think they are even cooler with a d-pocket!

if you took the front of the Ventura and the back of the Mojave, you would've made my dream jacket (sans buckles on cuff- I prefer buttons). Just like the 1930s Hercules cossak style I dream of having replicated some day.
