I know what it's like. When I cooked my first Natal jacket, that's what it came out like. It was like cardboard. It, well, I'll avoid saying also shrunk but it did shrink. Your jacket looks a bit tighter today.
If you cook it i believe it might shrink, mine was not even dipped, i just spray it and use my hand to pat around under the sleeve and fold the lapel, the lining wasnt even wet. It didnt shrink at all:D. But it was hard from the start, i could not fold the lapel when it came. The sleeve is always been shortish my own choice but very tapered after my elbow if i really let my shoulder loose and the cuff is not zipped, it might look even shorter. With all the creases.

I’ve abandoned all common sense/ logic on this jacket. I’m sending it to Dena tomorrow to narrow the sleeves. I don’t know... Maybe it’s covid brain. Scratched up hide, meh construction. There’s something about it though. Must be the weight. My spectrum is showing. Bon voyage turd.

Thanks man. I think so too. It’s made by TRD. “The Real Deal”. It’s a laughable name but frankly...it’s accurate. Monster weight, very much a true M/C jacket. I’ve had a fair number of heavyweights over the years, LW, Cal, Vanson, Natal and Aero. TRD is heavier than all of them. It feels like a heavy lump of clay. No other way to describe it.

Nick, that's the best fitting one you got so far. Hound steals the show, tho. Sorry.



It's too hot for this, too. I tried wearing my LW vest yesterday. Exact same effect as when wearing a backpack. There go all my dreams of finding a way to wear leather during summer.

Crazy hot. No motorcycle=no leather. Another reason to love riding.

Usually my jacket photos are always in a sunny period , which is 'the norm" here.

It is NOT always sunny in southern California ( or in this case Perth WA !)

Some well wintry squalls indeed and max 16C, (noticeably less during the squalls !)

My swimming pool is full and overflowing ( first world problem I know !)
