[QUOTE="gixxerjasen, post: 944243, member: 20220"] Not a stitch, but I have a Dainese jacket my wife got for me about 12 years ago. I'm not the type to replace gear every year just because I want new and shiny. When I get something broken in and comfortable there has to be a good reason for me to replace it. I hate hate hate new gear. Hate new helmets, new gloves. Takes too long to get my own funk in there and get em shaped right. This jacket has almost been retired though. It is starting to show wear, but more importantly because I've moved and am moving to more versatile gear. However, this jacket served as my jacket for whenever I was on the bike. I wore it commuting for several years when I didn't have a car, I've worn it on trips and all over the place. It's been worn in the rain, in the cold and in the scorching Texas summer sun. I still love it and it's now my "Nice weather" jacket, which means it doesn't get quite the wear it used to as we in Texas don't have "Nice weather" except for what seems like two weeks in the fall and two weeks in the spring. Pic of me in the yellow and black Dainese jacket on my itsy bitsy bandit. [IMG]https://www.leanangle.com/pictures/fjrforum/fairfieldbandit.jpg[/IMG] Oh and yea, it's awesome when you divide out the cost over the years. I could buy a cheapo $100 jacket every year and it'd be much worse than I did with this jacket. [/QUOTE]
