Do you also notice a difference in wind chill effect when wearing it?
I feel like the effects of cold wind are much worst when wearing a regular leather jacket than a grizzly.

I had never thought of it, but wore it outside just now to try it. I think you’re right, it does block wind very effectively, even more so than a regular leather jacket.

I sure like that jacket. Every time i see it i Regret pulling the trigger on one while they had some on the sales page

I resisted the urge to buy it all the way through the last sale they had, despite looking at it 20 times a day. Just wishing someone else would buy it and rid me of the temptation. No one did. Then I caved in two weeks after the end of the sale. Lol

Had that jacket on top of the list ever since it appeared and I'd always buy something else and every time I'd be like "Should've gotten the 59'er". And I will.

But right now Lewis Leathers Memphis is the only jacket I'd pay big money for.

You need to decorate that bad boy with studs and pins and stuff. Sid Vicious style.

I'd thought that the 59'er was a much trimmer jacket, but that looks very comfortable. How do you like the fit?

It is a bit trimmer than the standard highwayman, but still not what I would call a trim fit: my size 40 has a p2p of 23 inches. My chest is 39.5, and I prefer jackets to be at or just slightly below the 23 mark. For me that hits the balance between comfort and looks just right.

The big fit difference compared to Aero’s standard highwayman is the taper to the hem, my 59’er has a hem of just over 19 inches. I don’t even have to cinch it in, which I have to do on all my other jackets.
