I've seen at least two J106 with KOTR back. One is the famous natural one here and another one I saw on Instagram a cherry one. The KOTR back looks awesome and would give more mobility than the J106 small shoulder gusset back for sure. Plus if you are going two tone there is more to play with.
I have the Daytona in two tone Cherry/Brown
If I saw the KOTR on the Instagram I would've gotten that. Or at least added those features. Like those two back side map/handwarmer pocket (I am not sure if they're hand warmers or map straight through pocket). This feature is only available on really expensive jackets like LW and the RMCs.
So you're going with black Badalassi and cream Vicenza?

I do like the KOTR back, especially that one from IG that you posted, and I've always admired that J-106/KOTR hybrid. I'm still waffling on whether to go black Badalassi/cream Vicenza or black/tobacco Badalassi. I suppose I'll have a couple of months to decide.

I believe so. It’s one of the best evolved jacket I’ve seen around here. And that two tone Vicenza that went on a road trip.

The storse episode had a number of issues, but sticking to the purely construction question, I think it's a question of design. The thing about a Grizzly is the different types are considered and their properties baked-in to the design. The Storse jackets that were a mix of horse and steer passed off as horse by Will Lauder were not patterned as such as I understood it - one sleeve might bed horse, the other steer, patchwork panels here and there. That unconsidered mix was the issue there. Had the differing properties been accounted for in the design and properly worked into it, I should think it would be less of a problem, purely from a construction pov.

Two tone CRs can look great. I particularly like them in black and brown.
That being said I’m not a huge fan of the jacket in the photo, the grey looks too dull for my liking

Anymore two tones from people? Looking for some inspiration after seeing this bad boy on Field Leathers’ IG:

I love two tone jackets. Leather or otherwise they are always more interesting to me.

I personally like that lookHowdy, folks. With Aero's new website, including the withdrawal of VAT charges for non-EU countries and the current 10% discount, coinciding with historically prosperous conversion rates for the US dollar, I'm eyeing a new Aero. Until recently, I shied away from two-tone jackets, but this past year, I've bought two on the used market and am hooked. I wanted to take this opportunity to post these, with the not-so-selfless view of gaining inspiration from other members' jackets. I'm curious: What do others gravitate toward with regard to this look? Any regrets or things you would have done differently?
Below is the first two-tone jacket that I picked up, a Joe McCoy 30's Aviator. I loved the subtlety of the tones on this one, and the fit was as good as I could hope for on an off-the-rack jacket. However, I have a weird hang-up with halfbelts and moved this one on. I have this nagging idea that my future, more mature self will regret this.

My second two-tone is this Field Leather one-off that I also picked up used, although it's in like-new condition. The measurements looked good, and it fits as if it were made for me. Also, the leather and construction are as nice as advertised. The indoor lighting makes the russet appear brighter than it is in person. Still, it goes without saying that this is a bold piece. I'm not certain I'll hang on to this one.

As for what I'm considering from Aero, I'd like to get another cross-zip. I'm leaning toward the Ridley/slim-fit J-106, although I also really like the KOTR. I'm just a bit concerned that the KOTR would be a bit too baggy on me--I'm tall, relatively thin (for a middle-aged guy), and fairly athletically built. I love Aero's Badalassi offering and would prefer to get the jacket made in that, probably opting for black and tobacco.

All of that said, I love the look of this black and white J-24. Talk about bold--this is one of those jackets that I might prefer to look at versus actually wearing. Still, I'm seriously thinking of getting Aero to make this. My one hang-up is that I couldn't have it made exclusively of Badalassi, at least not in this color scheme. I've never handled Vicenza and wouldn't knock it without doing so--I just love the Badalassi that I have handled. Part of me is thinking of commissioning a black Badalassi/cream Vicenza Ridley (bring back the storse!).
Anyway, these are just the midday ramblings of a leather-addled jacket junkie. Post your two-tones!

Hi Guys, you have beautiful two tone leather jackets! I love them
I tried to create my own two tone DIY motorcyle, starting from a old goat veg tan teacore cross zip(bought 70 usd), what do you think?
the jacket:
Acetone and rubbing
cream + color
Final result :
Don't hesitate to criticize I'm very open.

It looks good but at first I thought the rubbed off pic was your 'after' and I was horrified haha.
