RE: New leather jacket ordered - the Ferret - 09-16-2014

OK here's some pics...This is the Vented Racing Jacket with2 front vents, 2 arm vents, 2 back vents, removable liner, 2 inside pockets, snap side adjusters and padded kidney area. It also has a pocket inside for a back protector.(pad available separately I would assume)

It is very heavy, very soft and very supple (no break in necessary) and smells great as previously mentioned... Rich Corinthian Leather (remember who said that? and about what? lol

No modeling shots...if I was tall and thin like Tink I would, but I'm short and fat so...NO!

Haha - no body shots?! awww man!!

Great looking jacket Ferret, I hope you're enjoying it! Do you have a feel for how warm you'd be able to wear it?

My unvented leathers I wear from ~25-80 degrees and textile from 80+. I'd rather wear the leathers full time but it's just too hot, wondering if venting like that could help stretch the range.

Enjoy it in good health Smile

Grover..people have different tolerances for heat and cold. My wife loves it cold. She freezes me out with air conditioning at 68 and windows open when it's 50 degrees out. I like it when it's hot, I dont start getting comfortable until about 75 I wear leathers from 50's to 90 or so. Below that I switch to heavy textile with stuff underneath it, recently electric liner. Above that I will switch to mesh textile.

(Buzzer Sound) ooh, were sorry Randy, but that was an incorrect answer. Although it was Ricardo Montalban, the car was the Chrysler Cordoba.... And it was in the mid 70s... But thanks for playing and we have some lovely linoleum for your home as a parting gift....

BTW- there is no such thing as Corinthian Leather. Either in a car or anywhere.
That was completely made up for the commercial by the marketing agency.
