      @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.

      Take the dive...

          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.

              @Nkwkfld My alterations to my Desert Run were not as extensive as yours (only being made for fit and to remove the right-hand chest pocket). I'd say that Debs really knows her stuff - I was nervous about spending that much and screwing up the jacket with my alterations but I couldn't be happier with the end result.

              Can Debs send you pictures of what she has in mind for the shirt-tail in particular? I'm finding that harder to picture.

              My Desert Run doesn't have the biswing shoulders, and my leather (the natural veg-tan horsehide) is quite stiff in the beginning, so I'd have thought that the Tailgunner's shoulders will be more comfortable for riding than the Roadster. Maybe this is leather dependent and something more supple will not be a problem. I don't ride a bike though so maybe take that with a big pinch of salt.

              Take the dive...

                Yeah, I have looked at more jackets since my post and am coming around the gussets. As for the tail, I'm thinking something like this looks pretty good: https://www.burgundschild.com/en/clothing/jackets/leather-jackets/leather-jacket-youth-of-america-black
                Yours is great by the way

                  I see what you mean about the tail now. Not as dramatic as I'd pictured. I presume, as a non-biker- the idea is that will reach the saddle when riding and insulate your lower-back?

                    More so that when I am leaning forward the jacket is not too short.

                      Gotcha @Nkwkfld.  I say go for it. The other thing which would appeal to me personally would be having a jacket which is completely bespoke.

                                          Yep measured at party. Thank you for the introduction! Was great to meet them in person. They are so nice. Figuring out the specs has been fun and they have given great advice. Went for the large polished brass 2 way zipper and the blackwatch cotton tartan lining.
