14oz for Texas

@Danimal506 sorry for the late reply. We're now in the middle of the "cold" season here in Austin.

I was hoping to score a leather jacket in time for the "cold" season from a brand in Scotland (wink wink) but the skin they ordered for it hasnt arrived yet...

So I ride with a modified type III IH jacket (the one dyed in indigo) over a tshirt, a thin merino hoodie and a regular hoodie with a scarf to block out the drafts and it's very, very bearable.

I just arrived back home from a 50 mile ride and it was beautiful. Man I love Texas

Yes I got myself a book by Chuck Palahniuk. Its on my pile. Its going to have to wait a bit because I've just started 1026 page "The Border Trilogy" by Cormac McCarthy and it reads more slowly than I thought. Nice prose tho

Ladies and gentlemen

I just ordered a couple of Iron Hearts pants and cant wait to receive those.
I'm new to this and do not intend to offend anyone, but I have this nagging question. What is your opinion of Samurai jeans and how do they compare with Iron Heart jeans of the same weight?
Thank you

There is a new brand out of Austin called Chisos (after the mountain range in the Big Bend region in SW Texas near the border, magnificent, by the way).

I got myself a pair of Black #1's and they are very comfortable

Superb craftmanship too

I also received the new MOMOTARO jeans model “S003-AZ” and I hate it. I totally misjudged it. And did not realize it has a fucking zipper. It raises too high for me, the color is not what I thought it was going to be. I tried giving it to my son and no luck, so when my wife comes home tonight, she's going to get a present… If the thing dont fit her, I'll put it on sale, I guess.

The only thing positive is the super fabric, thick and soft and "nice"...
