This is my TN Raiders in shrunken lamb after two year. It is one of my favorite jacket, I don't baby it and wear it at work too.
I was at the Geneva Motor Show and my friend took some photos of me.

Looking good! My TN Raiders in shrunken lamb is not yet a year old, but it is easily my favourite jacket.

Yeah, I didn't want to have a bag with me so I stuffed everything in my pockets, really useful ^^

I can take some more detailed pictures tomorrow. The drape and comfort of this jacket aren't match by any of the jackets I own, it literary molded to my body.

Wow... that's a really beautiful jacket, SpeedRcrX.
Annnnnd you
DO know that if you lose your mind and want to sell it you need only send me a quick PM, right?
(Of course, I should probably ask for your measurements and make sure that it would actually
FIT ... but that sort of thinking always occurs to me as more of an
after thought when I see something that beautiful...)

Thanks Mitch, but I'll keep this one, it's a really special jacket to me.
It was a gift from Tony and even have a special message from Big Tony embroidered inside of the jacket.

Well, like I said, you'd have to
lose your mind first to do it, right?
I'm actually hoping that does
NOT happen!
The fact is, I'm truly glad you value this jacket (AND wear it just like Tony would've wanted) SpeedRcrX.
May you always wear it in health!
