Well, you didn't help, LR  But... as cool as I think they look and as much as I'd like to have one, reality is that it would hang in my closet for 9+ months of the year; and the 3 months that I'd use it would be once a week (my riding frequency). Not a great investment (the one I like is about $500).

I have the same problem as you, Nemo. I’d love one, but I’d seldom wear it.

I like that jacket Nemo! I had one in that style once, but it, uhhh, shrunk in the closet. Yeah, that what happened...

Winter, was it popgun? I can think of a couple of things that shrink in the cold.

I think Seinfeld did a show about shrinkage...

Nemo they make light weight leather jackets
Good looking jacket RLS and the price was good!

I used to have a leather pullover shirt but unfortunately it also “shrunk in the closet”. Great light weight wind protection.
Plan to go by Fox Creek Leather next sunny day I have time to go riding, on my way to Pie in the Sky pizza. Next time any of y’all are in the neighborhood I need to introduce you to some local haunts. Leather is a nice windstop. Pricey but can beat the classics, sorta like a CB. |
