Incidentally, I forgot to ask. What made you decide to go with the Thermal Lining? Is it to facilitate wearing fewer layers underneath, or perhaps to increase the potential for use in spring/fall?

Yeah....it's actually a bit of a bummer. There was a fellow asking about budget jackets in a Perfecto style, and I thought I'd given him some useful advice...but I have no idea how he made out. Maybe someone hijacked the thread to a point of no return...I'm thinking of making a new one though...we'll see. But I'll have to take a few more pics first....

cont.

1) The fit is fucking fantastic, but there are caveats for anyone who's thinking about buying one from Soul Revolver. SR is known for building jackets that are 'slim fit'. The reputation is true, absolutely. This is an XL, but normally I wear a L in anything....but this fits like a L, and it's skin tight. Not so tight as to be constricting, but it melds to my form 'right' in all the correct places (underarms, shoulders, waist, and stomach). The taper to the waist is apparent, though not aggressive. If you're fat, you can't wear this. If you're chubby, see it as incentive to lose the belly. Same goes for shoulders; make sure your shoulders are broad enough to carry the jacket.

2) The red, as I had thought, was not as fluorescent as people here thought it might be. Other owners had told me this, providing me with pictures, but it's proven itself in life as well. So, it's not garish (at least, for my tastes). Take it for what you will.

3) I haven't yet examined the jacket in detail with regards to stitching and other matters of construction, though I plan to go through it with a fine-toothed comb later today. So far though, the leather is very good, very supple, and beautifully antiqued.

4) The hood is large enough to wear, but not too large. It sits very well on the shoulders, and provides an 'accent' rather than a 'blemish'. Again, my opinion, but thankfully the jacket supports this.

Without a doubt, this is going to be my favorite jacket for a long time. It is probably too snug to fit a suit underneath it though...it's definitely built to have one layer underneath (a t-shirt). A v-neck would look fucking awesome with this though....so we'll see.

Thanks again everyone! I can highly recommend this jacket from them...if you want something unusual.
