Any news on a possible restock?  Just bought the last Large but think it's too big (looks ok with padded fleece but too big with other layers).

First time I have see this…..

Photos sent to me by a customer who has just completed 5,000 of riding around the USA.

The discolouration is caused by ultraviolet radiation through extended exposure to the sun.....

My messenger bag (IHE-01) looks very similar. The discolouration that is.

Is this to be expected with the super black material?

…also on a side note, the measurements for the chest seem a bit off on the product page.  The chest measurements are identical for the XL and XXL sizes.

It's the first time I have seen it in the 8 or 9 years we have been making it.  But yes, exposed to enough UV, it'll do this.

Thanks we'll take a look….

But it was a great ride.

That is one wonderful pic!

Awesome @Shovelhead_Chris !!  I hope to take some lengthy trips in the future, with no worries about time, or work, or having to be somewhere at or by a certain time… Is that a Street Glide?  Hard to tell from that angle....

@Giles @Shovelhead_Chris This would definitely fix the jacket. http://www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html?lnav=dyes.html  Go for the jet black. It's the blackest dye ever. Be careful to do this with old clothes and somewhere where you won't ruin everything with dye!

Get some soda ash and add it after the vest has soaked for an hour in the hot dye. Then soak it for another hour.

My vest did the same thing a while ago, I just never thought of posting as I haven't been around the forums much lately. I also ride a motorcycle pretty much every day though.

[Bluegrass]

I like it that way - looks good!

@Bluegrass thanks for the motivation. I got mine out for the first time today.  Bought it in the summer but not worn it yet, thanks in no small part to my wife's reaction to it! Decided to keep the vest (and the wife), and your post made me decide "today is the day".

Awesome - it's a killer look!!
