Finally, after tons of excellent help from Debs and not to long of a wait my new Classic Biker was delivered…....after sitting at the UPS hub in Frankfurt for 3 weeks due to Brexshit.
Classic Biker size 38
Japanese Teacore HH
Removed the belt loops and added side adjusters
Brass hardware
Carmichael ancient tartan lining
The quality on this thing is amazing! The leather, stitching, hardware, all of it. I absolutely love the grain and texture in the leather and can't wait for it soften up while breaking in and settle down a bit. It's definitely a bit boxier in shape then my IH rider's jacket, which will take a bit of getting used to as its my first classic "perfecto" style jacket.
10/10 Would highly recommend sending Debs an email if anyone is ever interested in a jacket from them. Excellent service! -

My little present from me to me - a bespoke leather jacket from SB. The Desert Run pattern, with one chest pocket removed and a couple inches off the hem, in the veg tan natural horse hide. Needs breaking in. If it wasn’t 30 degrees in my house right now I’d be sleeping in it I love it that much already.
Damn I look tired. Can’t sleep in this heat.

Thanks all. I was a little worried about the fit but Debs at SB really knows her stuff and was a great help. I haven't tried yet - just putting jeans on made me start to sweat like a pig last night - but I think I left the right amount of space for a UHF under it for when it gets really cold. Really looking forward to cooler weather to wear it properly and soften it up. Worst of both worlds today - it's overcast and hot/humid, so I can't wear it or lay it out in the sun.

Everyone in the U.K. is losing their minds over it being a bit hot and sunny lately. I’m just relishing how much patina I’m able to pump into this jacket. Already going a lovely golden honey colour. Here I’m lifting the collar to show the difference against the original leather. This is like 2.5 days of blazing sun and cloudless skies.

Yeah, it is weird how the British have been reacting, but we love talking about the weather. There was someone on the news earlier advising people to stay in the shade, avoid vigorous activity “like sex”. You’d have thought that Brits were complete ignoramuses the way the news has been babying us the last few days!

@Kasi I know the feeling. I grew up in Dubai/Abu Dhabi. Summer there is hot and humid as hell too. At least there is AC in the middle east.

I live in Pakistan for 5 months
Where it is 50 degrees.
Don’t brother me how hot is today in Manchester
yeah it gets to 50 C in Saudi. I didn't believe them but it does. That's too damn hot.

Thinking of having a custom jacket made. Was leaning toward the roadster but I also want to be able to ride my bicycle with it so Debs recommended the tailgunner with the biswing shoulders and to have a shirt tail so that the back of the jacket extends lower. I can see that both alternations make the jacket more functional but I prefer the look without. Would appreciate any advice.
