Oh, we know you now. Great post.I think that he was simply trying to vouch for me here, since most here don’t know me.

Thanks for all the kinds words and positive responses guys.
Very true! I came here looking for info on A-2 jackets and for a short while that was my entire focus. Bit by bit though, I begin to branch out into civilian and motorcycle styles and I would say that now that is pretty much entirely where my attention lies.@B-Man22 might indeed be time to branch out into civilian and motorcycle jackets, this hobby has enough to keep us all going for even much longer
This is an important and sobering lesson, at least throughout my life. I've shopped and wished and dreamed and researched and dreamed and saved for an item, bought it, and then as I've gone to use it, I didn't connect with it at all. It can sometimes be lofty or misguided expectations, but sometimes, it simply turned out to not be me. It's so weird how something can look like it will fit into your life when you look at it in the show room, but then in your closet or garage or pocket, it just doesn't. And when that happens, it collects dust and is a constant reminder of all the time and energy and money wasted.If at first it doesn’t work for you ..... It probably ain’t gonna !
Thanks Treeman...Great post for sure !! Welcome ....

You know what's weird... You get a new jacket and love it, can't put it down, keep trying it on and looking in the mirror, handling it and examining it closely, smelling it and assuring yourself how great the leather and workmanship is....then gradually your excitement fades ...you wear it once in a while, it's mostly on the hanger and you hardly think about it anymore for a couple of years.
Then one day ( usually in the fall for me ) you fall in love with it again....and repeat the whole thing. All is right with the world again !!
