Sorry this took so long. I've been busy and kinda waiting for the weather to get nice around here..... :roll: Anyway, I posted new shots at the top of the exchanged jacket. I haven't got to wear it much so it still needs breaking in. Even though it was a pain I'm happy I exchanged it for the XL. :TOH:

That looks much better! Sizing up was a good call. What's the lining like?

Thanks, Weston. :)

The lining feels like high quality nylon and color wise it's a lighter brown. It feels really nice. :TOH:

That new size looks GREAT on you, Harry... a very natural looking fit!
And I especially like the look of the leather in that first shot: fantastic!

Looking good Pitfall! Your thoughts on the SL vs Cowhide are the same thoughts I'm having, and now I'm really leaning towards the cowhide legend.
Thanks for the pictures! You wear that jacket well!

Yeah, I really love the way the leather on this jacket looks in the sun. I have a feeling it's going to naturally distress quite well. I still haven't had a chance yet to wear it with the rest of my Indy gear. :? It seems we get one or two days with the sun out and then the rest of the time it's raining. :(

Thank you. Dog. :TOH:

Well, even though I think all the SL jackets I've seen look really nice I'm very happy I choose the cowhide. It really feels like a second skin when I wear it.....The jacket has some weight to it when you're holding it but after you put it on you almost forget you're wearing it...It's very weird. :lol:

Shortly after I sent my large back for an exchange they dropped the price to $195 on these. For the quality of these jackets you really can't beat that price. Now ONLY if I had waited I could have saved myself some money. :lol:
