Pudding7,
I also have a Blaster jacket, and gotta say that I like it alot.
The leather is decently thick, and the sleeves tend to run a bit on the long side. (But that's OK since I wear my Joe Rocket Speedmaster gloves over them.
I have had no problems with ANY of the stitching coming loose, and have treated the leather a few times to help keep it smooth and retain it's lustre.
Oh yea...I have the solid black one. (Size 44).
In Christ: Raymond
