      @Appfaff you have the campus jacket, right? I almost feel like it not being lined makes it hotter. I know that's not the case, but it sure feels that way sometimes.

      @daltmeyer Thanks! Loving it so far.

        @Wlemon congrats to an awesome fit, wear it in good health!

        @Chap I find it difficult to compare my Schott 519, Ihj35, Flat Head DPocket, FCl Leon 2mm and the Simmons Bilt. All have a unique and different character, the leathers also are very different. For example you'd think that the (I think) drum dyed steer hide of the Schott can't compete, but when I wear it I feel like it's an awesome and well aged jacket. Actually I think that every one of the jackets feels awesome when I wear it. In terms of just the leather I would say however that out of the box the flat Head is my favorite and I think it actually is shinki. It smelled the nicest, was very smooth and shiny yet you could already tell that there is a hidden structure waiting to give a great patina. The fcl looked flat and not as interesting by far when New, but now the patina is my favorite of all them. The ihj 35 has kept a lot of the shine and feels thicker and heavier than the shinki fh which is the same weight.

        So you see it's hard to choose a favorite or even compare them. Regarding the weight, smell and patina I think I'd choose the flat Head or maybe a fcl 1.3mm which I don't own yet.

        Thx @Max Power for sharing your thoughts… I agree in every point.

        God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson

            The pockets on the Self Egde version are very convenient for storing things when you take the jacket off.  I mostly use them for my hat and gloves.

              Catching up here… that looks like a beautiful fit @Wlemon ! I have the SE version and it can be a bit warm for LA but, given the weather currently, it's perfect. These pics are inspiring me to wear mine out to dinner tonight now!

                  it's was a very difficult decision between the flight and the rider's jackets.

                  now the wait 😉

                    This is the SE version but no doubt they are both equally fantastic motorcycle jackets; well worth their price. I have mine since 2017. I use it on the bike for around town runs, and accepting the lack of protective inserts, I can’t imagine a better jacket for that.
                    I picked a size larger than the one advised by the SE salesperson in NYC because I’m used to loose jackets and always worn them this way but I now reckon he was probably right and I should’ve listened.


                    The journey is the objective.

                        Looks pretty tight. Don’t think you could get much more than a t-shirt under it. Do you plan on riding with it?

                          Thanks I plan on wearing it with a tee. No I don't ride.

                              If you don't ride and only plan on a T underneath, you might be fine. Concern would be the sleeves coming up a bit short once creases set in. Sizing up may be a better option provided all the other measurements fall in line.

                                size up

                                Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                                Well, I have others.

                                  If it's unlikely you'll zip it then it fits like a rock star.  Otherwise size up.  I think both are viable choices.  (Get another and keep both…because why not?)

                                    Thanks everyone, I will see if I can get a larger size up.

                                      @cooldude_abe just from the looks I think it's spot on. Unless you want to layer a heavy shirt underneath it seems like a great fit. Also you should have some room through the zips on the side? They give a lot extra space

                                        Hi it's quite comfortable with a t-shirt but I would like to be able to wear it with a hoodie. Thanks.
