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.

Steve and Debs from Simmons Bilt will be at the party if you need measuring, or want to discuss shit…..

[Nik]

Great news.

Faith….Taiwan relaxed travel arrangements last week, the first thing that @Kurt-faith did was book airline tickets

What a completely dangerous situation…2 or 3 drinks in me and that combination of talent and I may be working for another 30 years....

Jacket is in production. Estimated 2 week wait.

Got measured at the party ?

[Nik]

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.

Just got an email to say they have finished making my jacket. That's one week in production and constructued by Steve at Simmons Bilt, who also measured me at the IH Anniversary party. Pretty pleased and excited to receive it.

@Nkwkfld awesome mate, you pleased with it? Leather looks great

[Nik]

So pleased. It fits perfectly. Thanks to @Alex for making the party happen and @Giles for the introduction to Debs and Steve so I could get measured at the party.
Really happy with all the modifications and the leather choice.

[Giles]

Oh yes….
