[Sunnergren]

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

@Sunnergren damn good fit! Congratulations

[Sunnergren]

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

[twin]

@Sunnergren Looks good on you. ENJOY.

[Sunnergren]

@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!

[goosehd]

I leave them on because they are easier to use with gloves.

@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.

[Giles]

That's a fit.......

@Sunnergren personal preference and depends on how often you wear gloves. I feel the tags cheapen the look of garments so always remove them. I don’t ride and very rarely wear gloves though.

I make it look good

[Sunnergren]

Horse season!
The more I wear it the better it feels. Of course I should already know this because most of you have been over it in here. It is true though!
Alternating this and the 409 at the moment.
