      I propose a jacket that gets toured and handed over on actual motorcycle rides. Each member uses it for a time and must ride his bike over to the next member to hand it over. We could probably get both a US and a Euro toured jacket. It would take longer but it would show actual bike evolution.
      Think that could work?

      The journey is the objective.

        It's a nice idea but of the 4-5 people who have already signed up, I don't think any of us rides a bike…  :o

                    Inside, but if the patch is sewn all the way around then outside, obviously

                      if i wanted to have a knife pocket added to my ihxvs777s21 same as the ihb01uhr:
                      could it be done?
                      how much trouble would it be?

                        Most things can be done.  But that is not an inconsequential mod.  I would take them to a local seamstress and tell her what you need…..

                          ^^^^^  Outside whenever possible.  A patch sewn on all four sides is never preferred.  Why design a rad patch if you're just going to have to hide it behind a belt?

                            @BloodnThunder ..well in my case I want to hide the 40" waist label… i sized up to compensate for the loom-state fabric and shrinkage, although it turns out i really didn't need to. two pretty hot washes and tumble drys have brought things in to a manageable fit but still a bit loose.

                                This. I love the denim and cut on my 634S-18 but the sewn down patch drives me nuts.

                                    Ha!  I suppose thats a pretty good reason. Although you being the mountain of a man you are I doubt you'd ever hear anything about it from passers by.

                                        Q: Does anyone have any experience with the Buzz Rickson M-43 Service Boots?  I'm referring to their take on the Steve McQueen "The Great Escape" boots.  I'm curious as to thoughts on fit, level of comfort, etc.

                                        Any thoughts/impressions are greatly appreciated!

                                        FWIW, I'm a belt on the outside of the patch guy too…

                                          @Qinhan, I had a pair for a while, I really liked them. the fit/sizing was a bit tricky, they're built on the Munson last so the toe box is pretty wide, and in fact I fit in to a 9.5 instead of my normal 10.5. I would recommend sizing down 1/2 size at least.
                                          The fit in general was comfortable, I would compare the fit level of comfort to Viberg service boots.

                                          Here’s a pic of mine when I decided to sell them, I made the “mistake” of dubbing them and I didn’t like the result. I wish I would have kept them natural.

                                            No experience personally but I know Standard & Strange also recommends sizing down 1/2 size from Red Wing size.
