Same crazy weather here. Upper 50s today, might hit 100 on Thrs. It is the last hurrah. Had B3 on last night. Getting the Field Leathers some wear now. Really has transformed past week or so after about 100 hours of wear. Softened up, grain popping, sleeve creases. No teacore though. Think that's a very long way to go.

I am working on it, i hope the soaking I did the other helped with the length a bit but I haven't measured the jacket since. That IH corduroy looks cool, I never really had a corduroy pants/jacket so it's alien to me. I really don't mind the extra length, it's nice to wear something not so short like the leather jackets I have and it helps with the overall look as I don't tuck my shirt in.
No, I think the jacket fits you well, in the length too. Just, some people like their denim jackets shorter. But, that one looks perfect on you.

There will be a 40 degree temperature swing in the next 24-48 hours. We are to hit 80 on Tuesday. Personally I can’t wait. Today it’s 40 degrees so I’ll wear the only jacket that makes me smile. I’ve spotted a gem that might force some jackets into the classifieds (there’s really only one worth selling)...but this one stays.

Just received my Lewis Leathers Cyclone. Unfortunately just in time for the warm weather. Wearing it inside because I love it and it needs some loosening up. Pricey for sure (especially in veg tanned cow hide), but this is my first high end leather jacket (have had cheap ones) and went all out. I was a little nervous on how the fit and finish would turn out, but happy on all accounts. LL worked with me and customized enough to get the size and fit just right for my tastes. I researched and considered some other brands like Field Leathers and Fine Creek, but the style and iconic history of LL drew me in. Having been a big punk rock fan in the early 80's, the fact that members of The Clash, Ramones, Motorhead, *** ******s, + Chrissie Hynde, Joan Jett, etc etc among many others have worn LL's was the kicker. Call me a wannabe, but I love the history.

Perfect! Saying this as a LL-fanboy, of course. I have yet to try the veg-tan cow, but it sure does looks stunning!

I really like the veg-tan finish. And from what I understand much more environmentally friendly than other tanning processes (if that's a consideration).
