Christmas Present for my Son...

[Nessism1]

Actually, it's more for me, than him. Love giving gifts.

Two gifts, actually. A jug of SONAX Beast wheel cleaner, and some brushes, for his M2. He struggles to get the wheels clean, and this should help.

Next, a Schott leather jacket. Someone on a motorcycle forum I frequent was expounding on how great Schott is, so I checked them out and pulled the trigger. Made in USA, real deal leather. Not cheap, but companies like this are unlikely to be around forever. Schott was founded in 1913. That right there makes them worth supporting.

You need to smoke a couple cigars around those jackets to get them broken in.

Ordered yesterday, delivery scheduled for today. NY to CA. I didn't pay for expedited shipping, but apparently Schott upgraded me (as well they should, considering the cost). Ha ha.

Kid loves the coat, but it's a bit snug on the shoulders. He's 6' tall, 180 lbs, with shoulders broadened by lifting weights. He just took the coat off to the downtown LA Schott store, for an exchange. Hopefully, they will have the proper size he needs. I also told him to feel free to exchange the style as he sees fit. He does love the buttons. Doesn't get any more classic than that.

Love the jacket. Classic 1990's style mob battle jacket. Think Soprano's.

Whelp, my son came home with a full blown biker jacket. Horween CHiPs Style Horsehide Perfecto Jacket. Heavy as a lead vest. He sold his motorcycle a few months ago, though, so not sure why he wanted it. Have to admit, it's a killer nice piece. He can will it to his grandkids! Or wear it for protection during a nuclear blast. Ha ha.

Marlon Brando wore a Schott Perfecto leather jacket in The Wild One in '53. First made in the late '20's and still made today. Cool as sh*t.
