+1-- love the asymmetrical zip. your jacket is very similar to the lewis leathers super monza (http://www.lewisleathers.com/gallery...no_445_2.html), which is probably my favorite biker jacket.

you might want to consider getting the sleeves slimmed, since they appear to be quite generously cut relative to the body. though be aware of how that might affect the stacking marks running down the arms...

yup this is my favorite model. i was very pleased to find this on ebay. i really didn't want to dish out 1000USD for the lewis leathers one. as for the sleeves, i actually dont have the jacket yet..those are the auction photos. but yes that is a super monza. the seller noted that the jacket is directly from the 70s, not a repro. i'm pretty sure that is accurate after looking up the brand TT leathers.

Nice jacket sexlexcia.


Hubba, Hubba:

I love this color, leather, and the fact that it is perforated in places. Would love this in a nice lightweight spring bomber style.

Dislike length and anything with chest pockets.


For some reason I thought this would be super expensive but at $1200 it really isn't high priced at all.

One of my HG's: CCP in Donkey leather, from Komakino/Darklands

Thank you, I actually did find one at a Local Leather Company in town. Its the exact style I want @ 110 bux. They're special ordering one for me (I'm slim). Can't wait to get it

My fav CCP is black fencing horse hide. So nice.

Very nice and 1200 USD retail is not bad at all. Wish TOJ would something similar

pics? my grail is the distressed kangaroo

I'm gonna buck the trend and say those CCP leathers are just TOO much.. . I'd feel like the jacket was wearing ME, they look (and maybe feel) more like a straight jacket than a leather. CCP fencing, however...

 

[Nouveau Pauvre]

I could pull it off. The fencing is really nice but those high neck are the CCP concept embodied in one jacket. Within the next 5 years I fully intend to own one.
