    Field Leathers Customized Manhattan / Classic J-24 Review

    Hey everyone, It's been a while since I posted the last time, but I thought my latest leather jacket addition might be worth to be shared. Being a motorcyclists myself, I always had a soft-spot for the classic asymmetrical biker jacket. However, I never pulled the trigger on a D-pocket...

    New York City "pure & crafted" meetup
