New Jacket

[metallyguitarded_imp]

I've been wanting a new leather jacket for some time now. My current one is okay. I've had it for about five years and I bought it used. It has served me well. I'll, of course, be keeping it as my weather-looks-ugly-better-wear-this jacket. But now, I have a brand new Roland Sands Ronin leather jacket on the way!



Yes, it's pricey and doesn't come with armor (has pockets for armor) but the styling is great. Online reviews describe the workmanship as top notch. Plus, I used PayPal credit and I have 12 months, interest free, to pay it off. I'll be doing that long before 12 months and when I do, I'll be looking for new boots. Oh, the jacket was $574 on eBay.

Nice looking jacket, MG.

Thank you Cormanus. I think it will go well with my CB.

Sweet looking jacket. Brown used to be a fairly popular motorcycle gear color. Rare to see it these days.

I love the Ronin. I get nervous that I'll look like 5lbs of sausage in a 3lb casing, but it is on my list of leather jacket possibilities. Looking forward to your review.

Thanks! In keeping with things that are a bit out dated, I received a Polaroid One Step for Christmas with a pack of film which was, by far, the highlight of the presents I received.

I love sausage.

your review of the jacket...not of sausage.

That's a sweet jacket. I'm going to enjoy some sausage tomorrow at breakfast to celebrate your purchase.

Nice looking jacket, MG.

Great looking jacket

That is a great looking jacket! Like ferret said, you don't see brown riding gear any more.
Definitely a gentleman motorcyclists jacket. Nice score!

That made me laugh. I'll let Capo review the sausage and I'll stick to the jacket.

So, how was the sausage?
And thanks Pauley, Rocky and Inline4! Although it may be a true gentlemen's jacket, I hope to retain just a bit of hooligan. Life is just so much more fun that way.

It was sweet, and hot. Much like the jacket.

this is getting weird, and I'm not sure you guys can recover.

What do you mean? EmptySea just said how he...then I said, "I love...and Capo wrote... Oh. OHHHH.

Yep, the sausage creature, I know a couple of you had to read the article??
If not here you go::
Going Gonzo Revisited
BTW nice looking leather

 

[metallyguitarded_imp]

I hadn't read the article before but did just now. Both the one you linked and the original: Song of the sausage creature

Great stuff! Let's hope someone comes along with "SausageCreature" for a screen name.

I actually bought one of those last year, but had to send it back....the sleeves were way too long--which I thought was odd, as it's not a problem I usually have with jackets. Tried another one and it was the same...so I gave up. I was bummed, because otherwise I liked the jacket a lot.

Shoot! I hope I don't have the same problem. The CB would look awful with ape hangers!

Let me ask you this, do you happen to have trouble reaching the cereal boxes on top of the fridge?

Haha...nope. FWIW, I'm 6' 1", and my arm span is also 6' 1"....which I think is pretty standard. Guess you'll just have to see how it goes. I actually looked into having the jacket altered, but was told that because of the construction of the cuff it would be a difficult/expensive thing to do.
