    @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 I’ve seen a few jackets on here that have really stood out fit and finish wise. Your’s is one of them and I’m thinking to myself if I should get the build details from you.

          I have enough jackets to last two lifetimes, but your’s has me questioning if I should start working on a third 🙂

          Congrats!!

            @goosehd I kind of knew the fit was great once I put in on but to get that reassurance from you all is awesome! Thanks Guys🙏

            Dude totally! drop me a DM, more than happy to give you the details👍

            Im going to order a Trucker from them but i'm going to wait a year as I really wanna put some miles on this jacket!

              Awesome jacket and fit.
              Can’t wait to see it once your V85TT gets a chance to work on it. It’ll only get better. Post pics!!

              The journey is the objective.

                Looks awesome. How are the sleeves with the gusset zipped up? Would be cool to see more detail of the leather in outdoor light.

                  @Nik Ill get some outdoor pics. Ive not zipped them up yet and I will probably just wear them unzipped. How's yours getting on?! Did the sleeves ride up at all?

                    This has had me checking the SB website..

                    £575 for the jacket + £75 the natural horsehide, £650 total? No hidden costs assuming your not getting a custom pattern made?

                    “𝑁𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏 𝑦𝑜𝑢. 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑖𝑡, 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜, 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑎𝑟𝑚 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡.”

                      @T4920 yes so that would be basic price for off the peg size. Process started with me sending all my measurements and of good fitting items. Deb then recommended a size 38 as the base pattern. From there I had 3 adjustments, chest was widened, shoulders altered and I had half an inch off the length. Those 3 alterations were an additional £40.

                      I then added a 2 way brass zipper and an extra inside pocket and a different lining, I went with olive. Total for that was about an extra £70.

                      Me and debs did have probably a good 20-30 emails going through measurements.

                      Fantastic service.

                                Holy Moly @Nik … i was just going through the Simmons Bilt archive and your pictures jumped right out at me. That is one handsome horse! Has it aged well?

                                  @NorvilleRogers Thanks it was a great jacket, but actually I wanted a different fit so moved that one on

                                          Super excited to get mine in. Ordered the SB V2 in mustang brown. I was about to order another Aero and a package of leather samples arrived in my mailbox all the way from Scotland. Had to honor that. Very impressed. It took a long time so I forgot I'd requested them. The top sample of pic 2 was the winner. Debs is awesome to deal with even though she seems to have her hands full!
