    Man, it looks good on you! Definitely my favorite of your jackets.. I really like the subtle angle of the chest pockets. I’ve always been partial to Aero’s J100 board racer for this style, but I imagine that this back design could really add some ease of mobility over the J100. The half belt really brings an extra element of class as well. Good purchase!

    Thanks man! Yeah it really is a comfortable style due to the action back. Between the half belt and the really neat stitching it does have a classy / rock n roll vibe for a biker style

    Good vid. Nice looking jacket. Have you recorded a vid on squeaky leather jackets? I bought a 70's cafe leather jacket by Park. While the leather is thick and fairly well made it squeaks. Any recommendation on how to get the squeaking out?

    Badass jacket! I almost bought it when I visited Barnstormer in Japan, but couldn't get over the double front pockets. It just feels a little off and stands out too much. Is the leather the same as the Hercules?

    Seems to be same or very similar hide to the Hercules. Double front zip is pretty standard across a lot of cafe racer / J100 derivatives. I wear biker styles often so I’ve gotten used to it

    I think you could buy a Pretty nice car with all the money you’ve spent on leather jackets, lm also a collector with 25+ motorcycle and aviator jackets bought second hand over 40 years. I wish I could spend $ 2000 on one jacket but l also like cars so … oh and I also like to eat 😀

    Hah. Almost all my jackets are bought used. And I sell what I don’t wear. So it’s not as expensive or as many jackets in my closet as you may think. This jacket was actually a combo- I bought it used from a friend, and part of the cost was covered by a jacket I traded to him!
