Thanks man.
15 oz Heavyweight Selvedge Denim Jeans
Made of 14.75 oz. selvedge denim. After one wash, it will reach about 15.5 oz. Cut for a straight-leg silhouette with a mid-high waist, similar to the 66501. These style jeans are very good cost performance. This is the core product concept of Bronson's sub-brand, Non-stock.bronsonshop.com
I almost bought a pair of these last week. They look like incredible value.
I've held off though, for now...

Right. I've been for a lovely ride this afternoon, first time wearing a new riding jacket.
It's a DXR Vinz, which is obviously not a maker of any interest to the retro crew, but the subtle cross zip styling is lovely. CE rated, and in these pictures I've replaced the supplied armour with some lower profile Resurgence D3O Ghost inserts. I don't think you can even tell there's armour in it.
It's analine cowhide, and so soft and supple it wears like nothing at all. As you can see, it's slim and snug - but it feels tailored rather than tight.
The colour is called Moka, and it's a dark chocolatey brown with lovely luminous undertones.
As I say, first wear, so I expect it will settle in and conform a little more than it already does. But I already like it so much I'll be wearing it off the bike too I reckon.
Probably take the armour out then though.

One last wear of leather before rolling it up and putting it away for the summer. Pony hide is quite the surprise.
Fits exactly as it was designed to fit! It’s shorter by design, so that you can easily wear it zipped and seated (presumably most the day, as an m/c cop). Sleeve is perfect. Wear it with a black t shirt if the length is of concern. In my view it’s doing exactly as it’s supposed to do and looks superb.

Curious- what do you mean by rolling it up and putting it away?
I like the length of the 519. What size is it? And how tall are you? Thanks

Long sleeve zips in that location transform the look of the jacket. Love it.

For summer storage. I roll the softer ones up like an egg roll and stack them up on a shelf. The stiffies still goes on the hanger though.

Im starting to wonder if this jacket is cursed or blessed. Another crazy incident today. And if you recall, this is the deer killer. I was in the hills scooting along a tight S curve. A car heading in the opposite direction lost control and was heading right at me. She must have been going 60 or 70, way too fast. My first thought was to get ready to do a triple lindy over the car. I was ready to pull it off. Then she overcompensated in the other direction and the car started to roll as it went by me on my left. Felt like I was an extra in a Fast and Furious movie. It rolled over three times, destroyed a fence and ended up by some cows in a field. I stopped and helped the lady of course. All is well. She was more concerned about her violin than anything else.
So, is the jacket blessed or cursed? Lol.
I’m keeping it no matter the answer.

Thankfully you are OK, maybe it is time to giving up riding since you have already received "few warning", I would believe it is message from God.

Wife said same thing.
NOPE.
NOPE.
Lucky break, hopefully glad everyone was okay but I hope she learns a lesson from this.
I live in Tampa Bay Florida, we don’t have any winding roads but traffic is terrible and everyday it’s a battle watching out for cars switching lanes back and forth with no signals because one lane starts moving ahead of the other for a few seconds.
With populations rising they definitely need better education on driving

Prior to moving to Austin, I lived in Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood FL. Almost wasn’t fun riding on some days.
