what collars do you guy's and gal's like best,scooter or regular,and also
does anyone use the old method of taking care of leather.
1 part vinegar to 2 parts linseed oil or you can use virgin olive oil instead
of linseed oil,i've used the old method on one of my jackets for about 25
years now still no cracking, still looks good.

After looking at the Aerostitch Roadcrafter and other similar gear, I just bought higher end 4 season textile gear ($680 jacket & pants) a few months ago. After riding with leather gear for many, many years I'm not sure I would go back. So far it has been the most comfortable jacket I've owned in both the heat (90F) and the cold. Right now I am riding in 32F temps. Unlike a lot of textile gear I've seen this has a lot of abrasion protection. Uses 2000 denier Dupont Cordura (abrasion rating similar to 1.3mm leather) like Aerostich suits instead of nylon. To clean it you just remove the armor and throw it in the wash.
