@Max Power coming from the guy who said “I don’t look good in leather jackets” this is high praise!

I'm glad you're happy with the jacket, because it really does look great on you. It would be a shame if you didn't agree.

Thanks guys. @Dstauffer yes, that might be the reason I love it so much. Also I like how versatile it is. I've worn it all winter with a thick layer underneath and felt like its warmer than my winter jackets as its so windproof; but it also makes a good fall and spring jacket. Also it looks great to my slightly formal office look but also works well with the rest of the gear. It just makes me happy every time i put it on. So yes, best bucks I've spent on clothes.

This sentence caught my attention as I've struggled to shell out the money for a leather jacket because I want to be able to wear it to work which somewhat conservative business casual.

I'd love to see a picture of the jacket with your office look. Jacket does look great on you!

@veloaudio i will post one but keep in mind that formal means jeans, dress shirt and a decent knitted pullover / cardigan in my case. I've dressed down to this coming from a full suit/ tie in the last 10 years while doing the same job and even got promoted.

Understood. Thanks!

Perfect. Thanks

@veloaudio a jacket with a collar might be more work friendly. For example, the IHJ-54, IHJ-73, or IHSB-WJ.

If you look up some of the old-school Sears adverts for leather jackets, you'll see pictures of them being worn with a shirt and tie. You could probably dress something up a bit for business use.
