Hi all,

Just looking for some input on a new jacket I'm about to order

It's going to be the Long Rider from Alexander leathers: http://www.alexanderleathers.com/vintageclassics/long-rider.html

Jacket will be black goatskin.

With the following customizations:

  • Remove the breast pocket
  • Remove flap pockets...just have slash hand warmers
  • Angled handwarmer pockets
  • Make the halfbelt similar to this filmjackets jacket, a less prominent halfbelt
  • Less bulky zipper pull, all silver hardware
  • Jacket runs about 30" at the back, will reduce this to 28"
  • No storm cuffs, just leather lined cuffs
  • Extra inside map pocket on right side.
  • Inside pockets zipper instead of stud
  • Black gabardeen lining
  • Leather cuffs, no zip or button
  • Bi-swing back


Thoughts or suggestions?
