As discussed elsewhere, when I go to Aero to collect my jackets I'll be getting sorted with ordering a cross zip biker jacket.
Not a huge fan of bright things so likely to go with the nickel colour on zips and studs, just totally undecided on leather.
I'll have a Schott cow hide A2, a Sheene in Badalassi and a Windward in CXL FQHH so quite tempted to look at the heavy CXl Steerhide. Not too worried if the weight of the jacket starts to mount up as quite like the feel of that.
Whilst appreciating that looks wise I'll likely be unable to spot the difference when new my query is regarding how it'll look after break in. Hopefully I won't have to spec the leather until just before the jacket gets close to going into production which at least will give me a few months to wear the hell out of the Windward to see how the leather develops.
Have spent hours searching the forum looking to see how the HH and SH look after a fair bit of wear. Noticed that some of the HH pics show the sleeve creasing to be quite sharp yet some show a more soft roll (my preference). Is that simply down the the leather batch?
Choice is between a 'King of the Road' or the 'Motorcycle jacket'. Unsure of the full length action back on the 1st one as concerned it might get a bit messy over time. The shoulder gussets on the 2nd one may be a better choice. Opinions on that?......oh, I don't ride a bike so looking more at appearance the practicality.
Which one of the leathers would you guys go for on a biker jacket and why? Any pictures
of cross zip biker jackets in either leather would be more than welcome.
Apologies for the long post and TIA for any advice / replies.
