@navetsea Thanks, man! Yes, I also really like the sihouette and the many pockets of this one very much! As already mentioned, I'm just surprised that I got this, without any question, high quality product for such a low price (less than 50€).
That is a home run we love to see at TFL. Seriously. People spend upwards of $2000 for a jacket, and I don't know what this jacket does not have that $2000 buys you, plus it is unique. Wow.

After my positive surprise with the first Harro I was lucky to find another one in my size. I'm really happy with the overall fit, jacket construction (it simply feels perfect for my body shape) and I have to point out one thing which I forgot to mention in my last post. The zippers from German maker called Ruhr are extremely well made and they are sliding very smoothly for zippers and feel very sturdy (sturdier than many Talon zippers IMO) which were made for this 70's jacket. TBH one of the best zippers I've handled so far.

Perfect fit & jacket. That one's almost the same one that I was selling here. Mine only had black padded parts but everything else was exactly the same.

Their zippers are the best, with the entirely coated metal pin that can't get ripped apart from the zipper tape. Just another level altogether.

JL Leatherman and Brent came in. The JL fits great (Leatherman sizing seems to be smaller than regular JL, with taper. Same deal with the Cal Leatherman— or maybe it just my two jackets?). I’ll take this bad boy for a ride tomorrow.

The Brent fits a little snug but is such a cool jacket. No brainer for the price.

Greetings All:
This year’s been hard to get in front of a camera. So many distractions kinda put showing jacket selfies out of mind. But today the intoxicating aroma of the Cal made me wanna share it with more than myself. The squeak of old leather when you breath, the second skin glove fit and that old friend feeling, i have missed.
So a good day to share.
Be well and safe.

Cleveland weather. I got to test 2 ends of the temperature scale with my new 618. Last weekend rode in 80 degrees with the lapels opened and the jacket did great, no ballooning at all. This evening took it out fully zipped in 45 degree weather with just a t shirt under. The 618 sealed out all the cold. Seems to be a great riding jacket for my body shape. Thanks to the Cleveland weather, I didn't have to wait till the fall to experience the lower end of the temperature scale. lol.
