Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

[RXS09]

$1100 doesn’t sound right, I thought it was closer to $1500

Stock jacket is $890 from Aero with the current conversion rate- so no not that much

Just checked and mine cost $1200 through Thurston

Carrie quoted me 1099.99 for a board racer, $125 extra for vicenza, $40 extra per pocket, 30 for fit jacket, lining $40-75

After all that I was at approx $1375

So yes not 1500 but still up there.

Atm I simply don’t need a border racer but if I do end up getting one some point I think I can just send in the measurements of my iron heart

Wish I had more biceps room...found this brand new RO Stooges for under $900 CAD.

If kunk has enough bicep room, then most should have enough bicep room

I can't wear any Rick jackets anymore almost entirely because of bicep room (and to a smaller extent because of shoulder room). And that's going a full size up already.

I'm between 48 and 50 across many (MMM, FG etc) and same issue as you. Wearing size 50 in that pic..****.

Bendable wire inside a length of pool noodle in the sleeves of a new jacket to assist with sleeve creases when its too hot to wear. This is perfectly normal behavior right?

That's basically what BBS et al do with their jackets, right?

I read an interview with Ken who owns Aero. He mentioned a similar technique when they made a jacket for LVC. They wet the sleeves and bent them at the elbow for a few weeks. I didn’t use water and it seems to be working and fairly harmless.
