Thanks AeroFan. I haven't done anything but wear this jacket so far. It has not been wet yet. I want to say water has quieted some of my jackets in the past, but I can't remember. I really hate to commit the cardinal sin on this forum, and add a conditioner to a brand new jacket, but this jacket is VERY noisy and it is not quieting yet. I have also read about talcum powder on the seams. I am not sure what the best option is, but something is gonna have to give soon. lol.Also I noted your comment a day or two back about "squeaky" CXL FQHH. I may suggest a treatment of Pecards - it really quieted down the Indian Ranger too. It wasn't that noisy, but every little bit helps.
Would love to see some pics, RK.Thanks AeroFan. I haven't done anything but wear this jacket so far. It has not been wet yet.

This is the noise offender. I have about 150+ hours of mostly indoor wear on it. I have shoveled snow in it a few times. I have not had it on the bike yet, or exposed to water. It is taking a long time to break in.Would love to see some pics, RK.
Wow! that is an amazing looking jacket !! How comfortable is the august? Ive considered this jacket multiple timesHello everyone,
New member here, but long time lurker. Learned a lot of things thanks to this forum and its members, and discovered Aero Leather's jackets amongst many others. Bought an August jacket recently, took it for a walk and enjoyed the sunlighted cordovan's shades...

How about your heavy hides? are the loud? have they quieted any? My JL is crazy loud.

Thanks doubleH. It's probably a little too light for you. lol.Looks great! @roadking04 I have not handled 4oz CXLHH but my heavy cow is soft and quite.
JL is a pleasure to work with. I think they make a great motorcycle jacket for actual M/C use. They are under rated when it comes to function and use.JL often makes me wanna spend however much is needed.

Thanks AF. The squeak needs to go, one way or another. lol.Looks amazing there Roadking! That beast will take quite a while to break in. Suppose it remains to be seen how the squeak develops...

Thanks J. I have it narrowed down to 3 possible ways to stop the squeaking: Water, powder, conditioner. I am thinking in maybe that order. I am hoping sensei Panda chimes in, he specializes in JL and CXL. lol.
I have yet to take the maiden voyage with my new jacket. I have only sat on my bike and made fake motor noises so far. lol. I might have had Born To Be Wild playing also (jk).
I hope to do a mini review when I can get some pics on the bike and spend some time on the road.
Thats one awesome jacket RK!This is the noise offender. I have about 150+ hours of mostly indoor wear on it. I have shoveled snow in it a few times. I have not had it on the bike yet, or exposed to water. It is taking a long time to break in.

Can't wait to see it. Hope you can find one. New Harleys are scarce in my area.The new Low Rider ST is calling me.
Thanks Panda. I am also baffled with this absurd squeaking going on. My 618 was rather noisy when I first got it. I had it on the other day, and it was almost silent. I did have that one soaked in a down pour. I am not sure if the noise went away right after that or not. The 618 was noisy, but no way close to the CXLHH.Thats one awesome jacket RK!
