Asking permission to join this chat, just completed my order. Stoked to get this. Would love to see some pictures of the jackets you guys had for a while. Show me those leather goodness

@Sunnergren I don’t think you need permission, just jump in. And congratulations, these and their relatives are amazing jackets (I have the 129).
As for pics, I’m sure Emil will be more than happy to contribute further. @weftyarn, we have an order for spam

@Giles thank you. Have been a lot of back and forth with this jacket, finally the circumstances was in my favor.
Have been digging through the previous posts like a proper addict. Shamelessly hoping for more updates and pics from the selected few.
Thanks for the congratulations — very excited to join this group.

Guys, I’m pretty much speechless. It’s nuts how well this thing is put together. And I’m so happy about the fit. Had almost no time for photos but here it is, open and closed with 888 UHR and a white 1600.
Can’t review it yet, but it 100% feels worth it right now. Honeymoon phase, here we go

@goosehd thank you! Hard to take it all in. Bummer summer is around the corner

@twin thank you man!

Have been wearing this around the house for short periods of time, the weather makes it to hot for longer adventures just yet.
I would like to know how you guys have this jacket set up regarding the leather ”pull-tabs”. I’ve seen @weftyarn removing his eventually.
I removed all but the top main zipper now, not really sure how I want it yet. Would really appreciate your take on it!

@Sunnergren it’s down to personal preference. On my 129 I find they do help with functionality but the sleeve ones tended to get into stuff they shouldn’t so I removed them (I think there’s a difference between patina and an archive of everything I’ve ever eaten while wearing the jacket). If you change your mind it’s easy to add them back on.
-
I took my off the sleeves and sides but left the ones on the zippers. The ones I took off I stored in the front chest pockets.

Horse out tonight, met the gang, got no less than 5 compliments, no kidding.
