^^Very cool. Thanks Conceptionist.

The great thing about losing weight is that some things I had no right even thinking about trying on not that long ago are starting to look doable. Still on my way down and I'm looking forward to a new world of possibilities.

Will keep an eye out for the bomber for sure.

Are you interested in this just because it's CCP? Because the suit is wack. Most older CCP is terrible

Rick blistered lamb?

The "blistering" or whatever is pretty severe in spots, I think it looks cool, wife thinks it looks damaged:

I have this exact jacket and the uneven blisters are the best part. The only minor complaint I have is the sleeves tends to stack by the cuffs because the leather is so soft and pliable that gravity just pulls it all the way down. I still love it though and funny enough, my ex's sentiment were the same as your wifes, she told me the jacket looked heavily used and old.

@rfx45 Has it held up well over time? Not gotten to gross? On my way to Korea and "forgot" my jacket, was gonna stop by and see if it's still the on the way to the airport

 

[RFX45]

It's holding up well for me but I am not the best barometer when it comes to wear an tear because I have too many jackets in rotation and winter is pretty short in SoCal. Though this particular one is thin enough for chilly spring morning and nights so it's more versatile but I probably still do not put enough wear to it to make a proper assessment.

The smooth calf is better IME

I agree with the ladies on this one

 

[nicelynice]

Ahh, gonna pass - a little too beat up, ripped lining and some pen marks
Prefer to wreck things myself

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Would be my first leather.

PROS
Price (~450 USD reasonable for a leather even with shipping to the US)
Classic style but with some uniqueness (quilting)
My wife hates quilting (which makes me like it a little more)
Ribbed cuff and neck
black
2 way zip
measurements seem pretty spot on for a good fit

CONS
Price (does that mean cheap leather?)
Quilting (would I be better off getting the more basic version which will always be classic? see spoilers)
It's May (this doesn't really bother me. If it sits in the closest until fall isn't really an issue, I'm buying things for the long haul not immediate gratification)
