Catch & release. Purchased from the bay, its a great jacket but I was never into cross zips with belt, and this one hasn't been able to change that bias Ships from Sunnyvale, CA Brown teacore Shinki Horsehide Nylon quilted orange lining D-pocket with zip closure Two hand-warmer pockets...

Catch & release. As expected, the jacket is too tight on me at the chest. Jacket is in excellent condition Measurements - Shoulders 18 Chest 22 Length measured from under the collar 26 1/2 Sleeve length straight 25 Measurements as per Addict Leathers website (attached picture and link) -...

I am far from a single jacket myself, but if forced to part with my other leather jackets, the Fields Leather Car Coat in pigment Shinki would be the one I'd retain Not a great picture but this is the jacket I grab more than anything else in my wardrobe

My experience with CXL steerhide has been that it breaks in much faster & gets really pliable compared to horsehide which needs a lot of time and effort to break in. And I really appreciate this feature of the steerhide. But at the same time, I have found the steerhide to be heavier and thicker...

https://www.schottnyc.com/products/chrome-excel-steerhide-mc-jacket-with-full-removable-belt.htm?color=6&catID=21 Looks to be the sole CXL effort by Schott this year. Color looks fantastic, and the removable belt is a good feature to have. But the price and split back are bummers Personally...
