What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Who is this man impersonating @ton312?! Gasp
No doubt the Aero would be a better jacket...but that doesn't always translate to any greater sense of satisfaction, at least not for me.

LOL...Don't candy coat it...tell me how you really feel!
Ton, may I say straight?
You deserve better jackets... O'k, O'k, O'k - a better jacket (if you're so defying the TFL effect this time really))... which every of your recent Aero's was... all your recent Aero's were superb... fantastic... fabulous... gorgeous... but not this RL, sorry... esp. in direct comparison with your Aero's.

What? Did you really sell your customs Bootlegger? The last one that was a perfect fit?
I like RL jackets and they do amazing reproductions but in my opinion if you can layer a whole hoodie sweatshirt under it and still fits roomy it's not worth keeping and altering it because that means it's not your size. Put your money into something that fits from the start.
Also tighten those cuff straps!
Also finally getting around to wear it daily!

It’s different. I like it. It has alot of subtle details that aren’t in your face. And then there’s the leather that looks awful nice to me.

Its like that mate who dated friendly gorgeous models all his life but then married a boring no sense of humour plain jane...don't do it Ton!!!
I agree but really the two aren't comparable...Aero @ $1.2K and this at just over $100. No doubt the Aero is FAR superior BUT it's also worth exaactly 1/2 the purchase price once the box it's shipped in has hit your door. Which is a burden I'm tired of bearing...

You guys don't know! Imagine Ton never had that first absolutely perfect Aero, then the second and the third, then the JL and another JL and then a couple of more Aeros and the LW now and all those other perfectly fitting jackets in between. You'd all be "Perfect fit, man!". Because it does fit great! I mean, it actually fits more like a leather jacket than the others 'cause, you know, the whole protective shell thing you wear over other clothes. Like a hoodie. To keep you warm. Don't need to be skintight all the time.
So I say it's a really great looking jacket that fits really well. Not Hollywood blockbuster movie poster good but. . .

Ha ha ha
Yeah but....I was married to the first. High maintanance and you always gotta worry about someone stealing her. The second...not so much. YMMV

The latter have ways of grabbing you and not let go. They have ways, man. You don't even see it until it's too late and then it's too late.
Maybe down the road I'll have this done by Aero but for now...I think I'll just see how much attention I give a jacket in this color.
I’ve been saying this for awhile @ton312 I feel we’re in the same page. Now I’m tired of full custom looks and then being ocd as we all with our jackets and finding the smallest flaw. Coming on TFL here and seeing some new leather or style and doing it all over again. I’ve decided I’m fine with used or off the rack or mixing up styles and trying whatever. way lesss cost involve and way less stressing over every detail.

Seconded. With my last CR, which was a pure perfection I might add, I forgot to mention that I wanted the kidney panel to be curved and it was bothering the hell out of me. I mean, there's gotta be some kind of diagnosis for that. I'm not going thru that again. No way. OTR, all kinds of fit as long as I dig the jacket.
