Mine should be arriving today. I hope the UPS guy gets here before I leave for work or it's going to be a looong night.

Got mine... I just can't get myself to put holes in it for the most kick ass pins... I just can't... Maybe when it's a little older. But damn, those pins look very awesome.

It fits like my Harley Davidson jacket. My wife said "you spent 500 bucks on that? It looks the same as your Harley jacket,"
Soon after she said I'd never have to buy a new leather jacket ever again. Which is probably true.

But I got to tell you, it smells like ASS when it comes out of that package. It still does actually... It's instantly comfortable to wear though, unlike my Harley jacket that is still very rigid, even after wearing it for more than 6 years. The inner lining is nice, but I know that, like my Harley Jacket, I will not be wearing it during the summer at all. Texas is hot, and no matter the lining, a leather jacket is going to be BAAAAAAD for your health.

I got to get me some leather pants and boots sometime. Complete the package...

On my jacket I took it to a custom leather shop and had the lady put a patch on the left breast area. A rectangular shaped patch with the length going up and down, sewn around the edges, with two holes in it. This way the bronze badge can go in and out of the patch rather than poking holes in the jacket itself. Looks more professional anyway.

I'd love to see a picture of that PursuitSpecial. I just can't visualize how that looks with and without the badges on. The jacket looks bare without them actually. But then again, I won't get weird looks either without the badges on.

I've took some screen caps in mad max 1 to check out the the badge placement and I noticed that the MFP number badge would be (at least partially) obscured if they'd fasten the snap to the "collar". I also noticed they wear the jackets without the snaps fastened most (if not all) of the time.

I just dropped off my jacket to have the lining replaced and have the bottom taken in.

I feel sick. :(

I felt the same way when I dropped off my jacket to have the lining removed. I'm sure they are a reputable place, and any self-respecting leather tailor should be honored to work on an almost unique jacket like that. Don't worry, they'll take care of ya.
