As it is a very hot 99F where I am located, I was not able to wear my chopper outside. However, I did wear it for approximately 15 minutes indoors today to keep the streak going.

So I patched my denim jackets, to make them look "hip" like mall jackets.

Look a lot more "edgy and hip" just like mall jackets now, i think they look fun, lol.

New to me Y'2 HVR-42. It's a balmy 94f in NYC right now, so I think this jacket is mostly gonna be worn indoors for now

I think it's a keeper. Leather feels great, and the fit is the right balance of slim and "i can still breathe when zipped up"

I’ve bought a few patches recently to put on some jackets I feel look plain. Most are Snoopy, but I also have a couple of vintage California public works ones I like.

i m extremely bad at fading denim and covid makes it even harder, while I do riding now, but I ride before sunrise and go home when sun starts to sting on the skin. So patches give instant character and personalization. even without sick fadez. I also like thinner sewn on patches as they become one with the clothes and wrinkle more naturally than ones with stiffer backing either iron on or velcro.

Those stiff patch especially velcro, to my eyes look like dried scabs, i want to peel them off.

 

[Powerband]

Dried scabs. Perfect analogy. The thinner patches, however, are well-earned scars!

Thanks! Y2 says this is their “HV horse” leather, which is described as:

“HV Horse - After tying with chrome, dye the base once, then apply paraffin (region) chemical, and finish it a few days later. At the time of finishing, an iron is applied, but due to the heat, the rose fins raise the color of the base, causing the leather to appear uneven. It is a combination of tannins, so the leather is bulging and thick. The material that you can wear again and enjoy the aging. After a thickness of 1,4 mm.”

Some of that flew over my head, but sounds like chrome tanned waxed leather? Not sure about the iron/heat bit. I don’t know where it’s sourced, but the leather feels nice, thick, but not super rigid

Thanks much! Indeed, that´s all lot of info that seems to boil down to a rather substantial, chrome-tanned leather. I don´t quite get the "combination" part, but perhaps that doesn´t matter too much. Jacket looks great in any event!

I agree, chrome tanned and 1.4mm thickness combo sounds quite substantial. I like the slim cut on this jacket.

Got this Super Monza from @Monitor. He was right about everything, including the super slim fit. I thought I would be able to slip in, but it really is too tight for me, so I'll soon post it in the classifieds.

Now I want to buy it back!!! You rock it so well and while it fits you exactly as it did me, it looks so much cooler on you. But the reason I bought it was 'cause I loved the way it fit me. It's an insanely cool LL. They've done something with this particular one that makes it stand out even more. Not to mention the hide...

 

[Mandarin]

Thanks! It is an incredible piece of work.

I’m two for two this week! Kurland arrived today. I think it’s a 50’s jacket but the Talon zip is a replacement. Done well enough that I really had to look. Beautiful leather, great cut and solid shape. Little URAD and she’ll be good to go.
