Fine Creek Leathers
-
I’m envious guys, truly I am. The broad shoulder and larger biceps measurements of the VB would be nice to have but I need to do some real research. That sheen is magnificent and making it hard to resist.
Are these jackets pretty warm? How miserable is it to move in?Which jacket do you have Chap? I also like the buckle back and profile…

@Anesthetist it hurts so good. Like my thumbs were all banged up trying to get the buttons done up today. Well, between that and my sewing awl leather patch project I did earlier.
The jacket is like 25 oz XHS denim in a way… it's thick and tough. But I think the payoff will be worth it in the end. I had to button and unbutton the jacket several times while I wasn't wearing it to get it even close to being manageable.
It's stiff but isn't too bad over the new ihsh-277 I wore tonight. I really enjoyed wearing it tonight.

@Anesthetist The Virginia Beach jacket I think would suit you well. Check the size chart. You may fit the size 44. This leather has a nice shine to it.

Mine's a Richmond, kind of Type I style… the leather softens up quite fast, it's substantial but not stiff. I choose mine snug meant to be worn with a T only but it is working well with a thin thermal long sleeve as well. The leather looses a bit of its sheen with wear. Armholes are cut small but easy to get in from the very beginning.

Beat that jacket into submission @Filthy –the fit is good

Could anyone who owns the Virginia Beach and and any other FCL jacket comment on whether the armhole / bicep area is cut bigger on the VB compared to the other FCL jackets? I have the FCL Roberts which fits me like a glove and doesn’t have an overly big armhole / bicep cut, unlike many other manufacturers in my experience. Thank you.

Adorable @Max Power

@Max Power That Leon jacket looks great on you. Showing the little one what is going on in this world.

@babyknight I do not know for the VB. I do not have any other FCL. jacket to compare this with.

1st full day's wear in the bag. I tried to wear this over my IHSH-64 but I couldn't bend my arms.
This is the 1st jacket that I have ever owned that all the panels have the same matching grain. It's pretty awesome because it has always bothered me when the grain of the jacket doesn't match.

Anyone that can compare Fine Creek with Y2?

Recently hit a year with my Leon Custom
Worn pretty much every time I’m on the bike & we’ve been through a lot from sleeping on desert grounds, drenched in coffee/booze/oil/blood & usually covered with insect guts.
Cleaned with a horsehair brush & wet rag less than 10 times & it’s dry as heck now so about to hit with some mustang paste soon
