Simmons Bilt

If you don't want it to "show character", which I'm assuming means scratches, spots, etc., then you should eliminate any Horween CXL. That stuff scratches if you breathe on it.

I`m about to stop resisting and going to order a quality leather jacket. Not too keen on Aeroleathers looks/cuts and stumbled on Simmons Bilt Pacific. It's everything I have been looking for.
I have no clue on different leathers and I need your help, please.

Black

No pebbles, visible grain (is that the correct term?), etc
-
Doesn't fade or "show character" over time
-
Medium or heavy weight (need some advice on this subject also: how much does a heavy weight jacket weigh? ???
These are the available options:
-
Blattwerk[[/li]

Clayton HH

Horween CXL

Hey @Masse …not black but just in case it gives you some comparison info.
This is my Blattwerk work jacket out in the sun to get riid of mold spots
I’ve had it for 2+ years, occasional use, mostly on short motorcycle rides around town. Love it.

Excellent jacket and fit !! I want that style did you custom order ? Can I ask your size and measurements ? Looks great !!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is custom made. Debs sized me into a Size 40 I’m 6”1 with 185 lbs and a 40” chest
I measured the Jacket recently
Shoulders 52,5 cm
Chest 58,5 cm
Waist 51,5 cm
Opening 51 cmThe Sleeves and back are altered at my specifications
I must say the Jacket is very heavy. It could be it becomes a bit bigger because of the thickness of the leather

Finally, after tons of excellent help from Debs and not to long of a wait my new Classic Biker was delivered…....after sitting at the UPS hub in Frankfurt for 3 weeks due to Brexshit.
Classic Biker size 38
Japanese Teacore HH
Removed the belt loops and added side adjusters
Brass hardware
Carmichael ancient tartan lining
The quality on this thing is amazing! The leather, stitching, hardware, all of it. I absolutely love the grain and texture in the leather and can't wait for it soften up while breaking in and settle down a bit. It's definitely a bit boxier in shape then my IH rider's jacket, which will take a bit of getting used to as its my first classic "perfecto" style jacket.
10/10 Would highly recommend sending Debs an email if anyone is ever interested in a jacket from them. Excellent service! -

perfect combinations Mike and Reuben
exellent taste !!

My little present from me to me - a bespoke leather jacket from SB. The Desert Run pattern, with one chest pocket removed and a couple inches off the hem, in the veg tan natural horse hide. Needs breaking in. If it wasn’t 30 degrees in my house right now I’d be sleeping in it I love it that much already.
Damn I look tired. Can’t sleep in this heat.

Good choice on the single chest pocket.
