Actually cool enough for a jacket today, for a short while anyway.

Hey Dav should you not be down at the overcrowded beach IGNORING social distancing haha ?

All over the Aussie news , jeez our beaches are NEVER like that , Bondi maybe the only exception !

We had 21C and sunny today ( rain was forecast and is coming , I wore my brown Aero Blue label Highwayman)

That was in Perth Western Australia , a few days after "mid-winter" !

Wow, it's made it that far, yes it's shocking.

Wested Indiana Jones Last Crusade hero jacket, probably wrong jacket for this forum, It reminds me how much I love indy jacket, do I really need those heavy LW jacket? View attachment 242812 View attachment 242811

How much does it weigh ?

 

[AeroFan_07]

US Authentic A-2. This one's genuinely two sizes too big. Will either have it altered or flip it.

Yep, looks like one to flip...kind of similar to a new one I just recieved too.

Sleeve feels softer, the rest still cardboard like.

I know what it's like. When I cooked my first Natal jacket, that's what it came out like. It was like cardboard. It, well, I'll avoid saying also shrunk but it did shrink. Your jacket looks a bit tighter today.

If you cook it i believe it might shrink, mine was not even dipped, i just spray it and use my hand to pat around under the sleeve and fold the lapel, the lining wasnt even wet. It didnt shrink at all. But it was hard from the start, i could not fold the lapel when it came. The sleeve is always been shortish my own choice but very tapered after my elbow if i really let my shoulder loose and the cuff is not zipped, it might look even shorter. With all the creases.
Last week

Yesterday bit more relaxed

Its hanging like this.

2.5kg in my size probably 34-36, lining is very simple poloshirt pique on the sleeve and front of the body, pants material for the back.

Sure love those. Hoping my JL center zip chp turns out nice

 

[Hh121]

Wested Last Crusade, lightly distressed.

I’ve abandoned all common sense/ logic on this jacket. I’m sending it to Dena tomorrow to narrow the sleeves. I don’t know... Maybe it’s covid brain. Scratched up hide, meh construction. There’s something about it though. Must be the weight. My spectrum is showing. Bon voyage turd.

I think it looks great. What is it?

I think it looks great. What is it?

Thanks man. I think so too. It’s made by TRD. “The Real Deal”. It’s a laughable name but frankly...it’s accurate. Monster weight, very much a true M/C jacket. I’ve had a fair number of heavyweights over the years, LW, Cal, Vanson, Natal and Aero. TRD is heavier than all of them. It feels like a heavy lump of clay. No other way to describe it.

Schott steerhide 637 today, over at the HD dealer by truck as it was a rainy day ( a week of that to come !)
This is not a "biker jacket" per se as it has no zip sleeves. "Cool" jacket tho'..
This "Cholo" style custom built from a Harley Fatboy , is NOT my style.
