What you guys can't see is that Beatle isn't holding the jacket up, the jacket is holding Beatle up! That jacket is stiff coming out of the box!

[Guest]

That jacket truly fits you perfectly, Beats ! Looks great – and beautiful pics !

[Dchill]

Wow, look at you b…...yup that jacket is mighty fine!!

[Beatle]

Thanks for all ur kind words…I have to admit - I am truly in love. The construction is top notch - the sb denim is super stiff - yeah - Shoque - I have a hard time bending my arms...in other words : I am thrilled to finally own this and I would encourage more Riders to follow...well - I can count on Dchill, right ?

[Dchill]

yeah that's pretty much a given there b….did I mention how damn fine that jacket is?

[Guest]

Will you give a cold soak or leave as is ?

[Beatle]

since it's sanforized and has received final treatments I won't bother soaking it…won't shrink and I love the sturdy & rigid feeling*

Dchill - this fall, right ?

[Dchill]

yeah this fall b, it's gonna be jeans and T's all summer for me.  It gets so damn hot here.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Who knows? I have tried it on many times in NY and SF and it fits/ looks perfect. I need to slow my ass down here. Also, I know that it is just a dream at this point but I am still hoping for a Cotton Duck version…

Nice Find! Wonder who the lucky owner is?

[Dchill]

That jacket is sooo fine!

[Beatle]

I forgot to mention that earlier..after wearing this jacket a couple of times on the bicycle I have to say that the shoulder construction is a dream..normally jackets tend to pull when you lean forward - but this one basically extends - no pulled up sleeves and no tightness in the shoulders. This is indeed one fine jacket*

I tried it on again yesterday and I must say it is INCREDIBLE!!!!

This is GREAT news. I need a jacket that does this.  If it has to be IH, it has to be IH.

The fall can't come quickly enough…...btw I'm not a mind reader but I see you owning one of these monsters sooner than later.

This is how Haraki does that.

He calls it an "action bi-swing".  It is SERIOUSLY difficult to construct.  This is the Cotton Duck Riders, but the construction is the same in the Super Black and the Indigo:
