Why a bootlegger over a half belt?

[Guppy]

Which colour would you say is the fastest?

Red, duh.

You could ask them to make one of the Cpt America Boots for you - they made the ones used in the film. It's based on a Alaska Jacket that appears in Rin Tanaka's book.

Which colour would you say is the fastest?

Natural . . . because it is the lightest.

Black is the slowest . . . because it absorbs too much light . . . unless you are using the jacket as a solar panel for additional horse power.

Its a very complicated question (tongue firmly in cheek).

Definately british racing green!

If you are only going to have 1 jacket then a Half-Belt is a great, if somewhat "safer" option.

The bootlegger is just that bit cooler but there are definitely days when I just don't feel like wearing a cross zip.

Its good to have both!

Definitely.
Finally, it looks like most members here agree with this statement.

it's just different.
A brown bootlegger has a hint of "bad boy" but not enough to scare old ladies

Cordovan. That's why mine very occasionally leaves a mark on a light coloured shirt - it's faster than even the leather itself.

Is this so you can charge your phone whilst walking around! Had no idea it was a thing!
Kids these days...

You'll know you have really fast jacket on when after riding marks are left in your undies...

That's why those are brown.

Not really.
Bootlegger doesn't scare any ladies (nor young neither old), it doesn't make sense.
The point is the Bootlegger actually makes ladies hot. All ladies usually like "bad boys", that's the nature of things. And the Bootlegger gives the very same look ladies usually like. That's the point, LoL))

This works only for those ladies who don’t know that a high end retro cross zip leather jacket would be about the last thing that real bad boys would wear these days. Unless if by ”bad boys” you mean ”nerdy hipsters with excess money”?

Well, perhaps you're talkin' about any wrong "bad boys", 'cause true badass "bad boys" wear the best leather jackets only, and all true ladies know that))

Nicely put. Nothing screams bad boy like a $1000 jacket that has more thought put into it than a PhD.

Love the Bootlegger, although I don’t grab it as much as I thought I would almost a year later. I’ll bet I will when fall sets in though.
No doubt it is “cut” at the waist, not as roomy as some of my other jackets. The sleeves are sleek as well. No layering with that one, wouldn’t be right!
