@AdamJ Thank you!
-
Does anyone know the difference between the Roadster and the Tailgunner? I see the Tailgunner has the shoulder swing gussets. Is there anything else that separates these two?
-
@Mizmazzle Looks like the Tail Gunner also has zippy cuffs. Not being a biker myself, it looks to my layman's eye like the Tail Gunner has more utility for biking - shoulder swing gussets for comfort when leaning forward, and zips to tighten the cuffs and keep the wind out of your sleeves.
You can always email Debs at SB. She is super-duper helpful.

@EdH thanks Ed! I did just that! Haven’t heard back yet but I’ve been in regular contact with her for the last 6 weeks or so. Think I’m just about ready to pull the trigger on this jacket. Just sorting through any last minute thoughts and possibilities. Both look quite lovely but thinking the Tail gunner is the one for me! Was considering going through Standard and Strange and getting the Vanishing Point. But not sure really what the difference is on those two either. Look about the same other than the zipper pockets. A lot cheaper to go straight through SB on the Tail Gunner too.

@cityofdelusion What leather is used on these two beauties?
-
Left: Black Waxy horsehide
Right: Clayton chrome tanned horsehide -
My Tailgunner arrived today after emailing Debs for the last 3 months and how awesome is Debs! I was after a fitted jacket that I would wear just a t-shirt underneath. Wearing it, it feels perfect but just wondered what you guys think? Please be honest I won't be offended
-
@jiminstitches dope!!! Is that the Blattwerk leather? For looks great. Those sleeves should come up some with creasing. I think you’ve got a hell of jacket with a hell of a fit.

@jiminstitches Very nice!
-
@jiminstitches agreed with the above. Amazing jacket and what a fit. Be interested to see if it’s the Blattwerk leather? You pleased?
-
@jiminstitches Perfect fit and jacket! Awesome build that you can see a lot of time and thought went into.

@Mizmazzle Ah thank you, Its the Natural Italian Veg Tan, Yeah debs said they'd be slightly long but would ride up with wear.
-
@doubletee Im so pleased! Its beautiful, ive not been this excited since I was a kid!
-
@goosehd The detail is incredible. I gotta say what an absolutely amazing company Simmons Bilt are and Debs has been so awesome. The attention to detail in the emails and getting everything right was great and at no point did I feel rushed. Very Happy
Ive been wearing it in the house all evening. -
@jordanscollected The rear yoke is my favourite path of the jacket.
-
@jiminstitches ah interesting. I know they were looking for a new supplier for the Natural Veg Tan leather. Looks to be quite nice!!!
