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

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.

I would have been really embarrassed since I was sitting in a Cadillac and couldn't have pay for the repair ;) (I could by selling my beloved TN Raiders)

Like I promised some close-up photos

Wow... that's a really beautiful jacket, SpeedRcrX.
=P~
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 afterthought 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!
