You sir are wearing the jacket I wish I ordered. That's just phenomenal and although folks might not know what that color does from the pics (I couldn't ever photo it quite right) I do and I don't think I'll see a better j-106 in my lifetime. That's just awesome man. Well done!!!

I'll be on soup rations for a while but, since this jacket will last me the next 50 years of life and will only improve, I reckon it represents far better value for money than socks or beer.

That of course makes perfect sense but the thing is, you're a normal, rational human being while I'm a raving lunatic. I've had three of those (not at once) with the same notion in mind for each one, how I'm gonna wear it for the next 50 years, make it my own jacket, etc., etc., only to end up selling each one. And the worst part is, for the life of me, I can't recall the reason why I did it. That's probably because there never was one. I know I bought something else afterwards that I thought is it, but I sold that too. That's why I should not be allowed to have a dime over what a loaf of bread costs.

Great Jacket Leither. Got to ask tho, which part of The People's Republic do you come from? I was born in Leith (Links Gardens) and lived their till I came to Australia 18 years ago. I'm still very much a Leither and a Mental Hibee!

And welcome to the forum!
Thank you. Near the old Leith Theatre. I'm an incomer 21 years and I love Leith. I seem to be the early adopter of Aero in the hood despite the factory only being 40 miles away in Gala.

Touché.
Cancelled flights in Phoenix, AZ today due to potential 120ºf temps. This is my definition of hell on earth.
Almost can't even look at this thread today ;)
My doctor told me the other day that he's heading for Iceland next month and that the fare was about $160.00 roundtrip. Apparently you can get some really great deals on flights there. I haven't thought about anything else since he told me.

You can make yourself wear anything with practice. It's 40 plus degrees here too often for my linking. While I would never wear a jacket then, I would and do wear a long-sleeve black shirts, long pants and a felt hat in that heat with total comfort. I don't understand shorts and t-shirts in heat. Why would you let the sun touch your skin. :eek:

Nevertheless if I lived where navetsea does I would own a couple of light cotton jackets and no leather. I can't see myself wearing a leather jacket over 18 degrees in a tropical country.
I understand what Navetsea's saying. When my wife and I were staying in southern India some years ago we went up to one of the old British "hill-stations" (Pondicherry) in the mountains. It was like going from Miami in July to Newfoundland in late August. I never wanted to leave.

A bit on the large side, but I think I can live with it.
