Nobody to take photos of me wearing any of my jackets anymore. Nobody to say "That one's even worse than the last one!". Nobody whose perpetually negative comments I couldn't wait to hear whenever I bought any new piece of wardrobe. Never a good jacket in 5 five years and I loved every second of it.

Damn you, life. Why give you'll just take it away?

Two that you actually kinda liked... Levi's and Hein Gericke. Not today but who cares.
Sorry to hear that Ivan. Women... :rolleyes:

This jacket may be "old" but I call it "perfect." As in Perfectly broken in, perfect fit, perfectly comfortable. Really amazing grain & patina there! Enjoy and keep wearing it as much as you can. :)

Thanks man. I really love wearing it and it's fun to see the jacket evolving. Even with a new Aero incoming I will continue to wear this one a lot :)

One of my all time favorite cafe racers is the vintage Harley Horsehide “One-Pocket” Sportster. The horsehide on these Sportsters is simply amazing- the kind of horsehide Shinki wishes it could be. The weight and heft of the hide hits that ideal sweet spot- supple yet substantial enough for anything the San Francisco weather throws at me.
Simple, minimal, distinctive— the no frills Buco/Board Racer style back, the Conmar diamond zip and Conmar main zip…and a fit that just feels right every time I put it on. Board Racers are fine too…but I always reach for my Sportster because it’s the real deal. Maybe that’s why I have five of them hanging in the closet now. Sigh... I’ve really got to let a couple of them go…

Amazing. Now I regret not purchasing the one that recently sold on Ebay.

I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my office smells of rich mahogany. The chairs are perfect.

Too funny! I got the chairs when I was Mr Big Deal Mortgage Bank prior to the crisis. It was perfect in my office on the 44th floor loaded out in Texas style leather and wood but sadly no leather bound books, only coffee table books. The chairs, coffee table, and misc items like lamps are still with me today but the rest found homes elsewhere. I still miss the exotic skin couch.
