Thanks! I almost decided to bring it on my vacation, but I'd probably only be able to wear it a couple days out of almost 3 weeks.if I had that jacket, I too wouldn't want to wear another!

I've really enjoyed the fit pics of you wearing this jacket. Would you say it's fully converted you to vintage?Thanks! I almost decided to bring it on my vacation, but I'd probably only be able to wear it a couple days out of almost 3 weeks.
Thanks! It's damn near done it. I'll put it this way: I'm not actively looking for any more new jackets, not even Freewheelers ones. I am actively looking for vintage jackets and am looking forward to the next inspiration and any other opportunities to find good vintage jackets.I've really enjoyed the fit pics of you wearing this jacket.

Really glad that you're on the way to fully making the switch because I know for sure that if any cool vintage jacket ends up in your hands, we will get nice fit picsThanks! It's damn near done it.

I'm not opposed to a new jacket, but the Vanson, then the Cal, and now especially this have pushed me toward only really caring about finding vintage jackets. So basically yes, with a slight caveat. Plus, I'm not selling my Bodie or my RMC aviator as of now.
Still wearing the $h!t otta this mfr. first pics are from right now, others over the last week. Get one, wear it into the fln ground is what I say! View attachment 524357 View attachment 524359 View attachment 524361 View attachment 524368

Ahh, I was close. Only off by $1000.I think that's the Flathead Single Rider.
Wow, that's awesome. Feel like a bit of a dope following up your post with my (new to me) Sears Oakbrook D pocket but here goes.Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Takanori Okamoto , representative of Langlitz Japan and founder of Black Sign (a badass Japanese clothing brand). He told me everything about the history of @langlitzleathers and the Death's Head Cascade jacket. Mr Takanori is the proud owner one of the original late '40s Death Head Cascade jackets of which only 5 were made.

CRAZY indeed. Everything they need to import into the country is expensive. Locally made stuff is 'cheap' (still a lot of money of course but between 40% -50% less expensive than when I buy the goods in Europe).Crazy prices though. ¥705,000
No, Flat Head single rider. Drunk posting and forgot to add that, which is admittedly bad form!This is an Aero?
