Hi Dav,
is that an ELMC biker vest i can spot under your B3, if so could you post some pics of that please.

Cheers

Yes it is, there's some more pictures here.

Aero meets ELMC. My trusty Highwayman with the addition of an ELMC Biker Flight Vest. I'd been thinking about getting the HWM relined with shearling for some time now but just wasn't sure if it would work, so when I discovered the vests it seemed like a good alternative, got my shearling liner and a vest and have still left the HWM as is, just the job in my opinion.

Yes. It is actually a bit darker than shown in the photo.

It's an amazing color. I always thought octagon was more orange-ish, but I guess there is color variation in the different batches, just as with CLX. @Carrie @ Thurston Bros. Carrie, can you please tell us whether the currently available octagon is like this or if available, post a picture? Thank you!

Case Chopper - Wish we saw Cherry more, I may have to consider a Bootlegger in Cherry Steerhide next year, I think that would be neat....Didn't know they did Oil Pulled that that color.

Yes that Vanson Chopper is also incredible....I think you would have a line to buy it if you ever decided to sell...

I'm going to hazard a guess that @JMax got his jacket here:

I wonder if this outfit is still operational? I've never heard of Paul Cox Industries but I like ke the take on this jacket.

I started there and had Vanson make some minor mods in sizing and pockets. EDIT: I also went with less of a contrast in the stitching. But yep, Paul Cox. Well known in NYC. They are operational far as I know.

I more recently had a cross-zip, two-tone d pocket vest made with the octagon and it is definitely not orangey either. More of a darkish reddish tint. Sort of burgundy but not exactly. Not quite the richness of oxblood but closer to that than orange, for sure.
