As a previous owner (I think), totally awesome jacket. Nice and warm, I’ll probably regret not having it when I finally move back north.

Looks Good HM, any negatives to report from the soak?
CXL HighwaymanNo negatives so far...
It's not 100% dry yet, but no loss of suppleness. The huge up-shot is that I could give the collar back it's rightfully majestic shape. It had been crushed over the years. The slight odor that remains will probably go away with some air and a vinegar spritz... a positive experience.

I've washed a bunch of jackets before: only positive experiences as well.

This is superb Boyo...I know I may (somehow!) be biased toward the HWM pattern of late but I dare say this the best fit I've seen of a HWM ever posted here. Looks absolutely perfect!

I got that one into circulation. Isn't it an excellent jacket? Fits you really nice.

Thanks, It's an in interesting cut. It fits slightly snug at the top but has plenty of space at the bottom for movement. This is probably due in part to the *** holster expansion straps? I think that's what those are for anyway. I think it will work well for really cold commuting with the quilted lining and thick leather. It's definitely a ******proof hide and one I won't worry about wearing on rainy rides at all.

It's an absolute tank of a jacket for sure and yeah, I think it fits like that 'cause of the belt and all the stuff cops carry on it. It's a very warm jacket, too. If it was one size smaller, I'd have kept it even tho it fit great on layers.
