On the search for a new leather jacket!! Help!
1. I love the look of Thedi jackets but iv heard a little of the same. I'm afraid they might not be the best for someone who actually rides. Its been a while since iv looked into the details for their leather but if i'm not mistaken, the veg tanned leather isn't coated and might not do the best...- Phillips88

On the search for a new leather jacket!! Help!
I really appreciate all the comments guys, all the opponents and suggestions are very much appreciated. I’m still up for any opponents as I’m still building up the funds before I can actually make a purchase anytime soon.

On the search for a new leather jacket!! Help!
I really like that one a lot too. @Monitor mentioned the v7 earlier and it caught my eye then. I don’t know much about Vanson personally? What makes you guys think Vanson and the v7 a better choice when compared to, say.. LW J-100 and others?- Phillips88

Schott 618hh. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
Well it sure looks like your on the right track. That sure is a good looking jacket and your break in looks to be coming out beautifully. Iv saw some beautiful broke in Schott HH jackets, and some that doesn’t look good at all. Like for example, where they do piece together the jackets the way...- Phillips88

On the search for a new leather jacket!! Help!
sweetfights that’s one good looking jacket, that’s exactly what I’m leaning toward. Iv leanings towards the LW J-100 from day one. I wish I was a little more prepared in the wallet department at the moment or we would be making a deal right about now.- Phillips88

Schott 618hh. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
Looking great Roadking. Say the jacket seemed a little light? Any particular part of the jacket a lighter weight than the other or just the over all? The reason I’m asking, when I first took my 618hh out to the box, I noticed the forearm part of the sleeves seem maybe a lighter/softer than the...- Phillips88

On the search for a new leather jacket!! Help!
About your typical cafe style cut I guess. Not too tight but still comfortable when wore casually. I tend to not care for them to be extremely short either. One thing that I don’t care for with my perfecto, how it tends to ride up the back occasionally when on my harley. I’m 5”10, 180 pounds...- Phillips88

On the search for a new leather jacket!! Help!
I think I’m gonna stay away from armor. Although I’m gonna be riding a lot, I’m gonna be wearing this jacket casually a lot too. Sort of jacket that on a typical day if I decide to ride the bike to the office, wear the jacket though out the day casually. Ride the bike back home and wear it...- Phillips88

@Monitor @TREEMAN Pulled out the 618hh today, still doing great! It’s breaking in amazing, I just wish the shine would calm down just a little more! The bottom three pics show what it looks like when the light bounces off of it.- Phillips88

New Schott 618 Horsehide!!! Questions....
It's doing great fellas! The 618HH is definitely one of my favorites! I don't have the opportunity to wear it as much as some of my other leathers, like my 141, mainly due to the style but what I have, it's broke in quite nicely! Both the sleeves and the body have developed a beautiful...- Phillips88

@TREEMAN @Monitor I tell ya what guys, its been a chore getting that HH broke In but she's finally starting to look really good.

Using natural beeswax as a waterproof/protective finish???
I'm gonna tell ya, ya can't go wrong using Pecards! I started using it not long ago thanks to @Monitor and some others here at TFL and haven't looked back. Just to show ya, I added it to my naked cowhide schott 141 a month or so back and it's done nothing but make the jacket that much better...- Phillips88

Using natural beeswax as a waterproof/protective finish???
Has anyone ever heard of or used 100% natural beeswax as a waterproofing/protective finish? Iv read several places online about people applying straight 100% beeswax to their leather jackets/boots (either heating it up and making a paste or just rubbing it on like a bar of soap). Some seem to...- Phillips88

Thoughts on leather of Schott leather jackets!
It's nice no doubt but I too don't care for the black hardware as much as the classic nickel. Not to mention unless I just had money to blow, I'm not seeing $1500 here especially when compared to my $800 618 in horse that's just as nice and half the price- Phillips88

Thoughts on leather of Schott leather jackets!
When it comes to the leather treatment discussion, I'm not sure why treating a leather jacket occasionally is being talked about as a BAD thing! It's leather! It's skin! That would be like a Neutrogena or some kind of lotion commercial coming on TV and the lady saying "I'm 50 years old, worked...- Phillips88
