This is my listing for the vintage horsehide fidelity jacket I bought here from Jmax. Great jacket, but I need a little more room in upper back/shoulders. In the interest of full disclosure, paid $750 for it. Fidelity

Is the tumbled CXL comfortable from the start? I don’t think I could tolerate wearing CXL long enough to break it in. Do you guys enjoy the process of breaking it in?

Just put them through the washing machine inside out and hang dry. That will get most shrinkage out. They might shrink a minimal amount in the next few washes but nothing major. How do you plan on washing them in the future? I would just do whatever your normal washing method is once and start...

Looks like it fits very well. Does it feel comfortable? Are you questioning something about it?

I’ve never used the snap. The neck is loose enough that I don’t notice the snap while wearing it. I wish it had a two way zipper though, or that the zipper started a little higher up from the bottom of the jacket.

This is such a cool jacket. I was debating between this and an Indian ranger when aero had their sale last fall. I ended up getting the Indian ranger and returning it which is another story, but seeing yours makes me think I should have gone for the KotR. Great fit on it.

ELMC Roadstar. My 3rd Roadstar. Years ago I had a 42 that eventually became too small. I replaced it with a 44. I sold the 44 to buy other jackets, but regretted it. Found another 44 with nice grainy leather. The leather they use seems to vary quite a bit.

A very popular jacket the last few pages, here’s another C2. Probably the most comfortable leather jacket I’ve worn.

I passed on it but it looks like somebody else bought it this morning.

The marks on the leather wouldn’t bother me. I think the first time you wear it out of the house it would get all marked up anyway. But I wouldn’t expect to recover any shipping or import costs if you do return it. The jacket not fitting right would bother me so I’d return it if that’s an...

Thanks, I tried a Thunderbird on in 42 and it was a little short and a little snug. I think we’re the same size too, so I’d need 44.

I made an offer on this but I can’t make out what the actual tag size is in the photos. Does it say 46? 48? I asked the seller what the tag size is and he said “I’m a 44 and it fits me”. So who knows. I asked for measurements too. His counter offer to me was $285.
