Hey Skip, missed your comment. Yeah my first impression is positive. I agree, it’s not the same as a Schott or Vanson, or Aero etc. But for $450 I think it’s pretty good. I only have handled the Thursday racer jacket in similar price range and this one is much better.
Just picked up the pants and really dig em! Will be curious how the jacket wears in. Some direct improvements over the 224. The leather is thick but very soft, maybe softer than I’d like? Dunno. Will see!
Hey Duds, Again a very interesting leather jacket revue. I especially loved watching the unboxing moment with this vibe of excitement. This company has beautifully designed boxes and cloth bags. - The jacket is of course also beautiful, and I appreciate a lot how you show and discuss the different aspects and features like sizing/ fit and design as well as the leather quality of this jacket. That makes your revues so helpful, inspirational and unique. It's looking very good and stylish on you in combination with the white T-shirt and grey trousers. Well, when you are not wearing it on a motor bike you might as well wear it on a public bus, haha..! Just fun, kidding! Thank you again for this revue. Peace and kindest regards from Switzerland.
@@willyegger4488 hah thanks Willy. I drive a sedan, but wouldn’t mind wearing this jacket on the bus if needed. Don’t think it would provide much abrasion resistance in a slide off a bike though. Have a good one!
with master supply releasing so much versions all the time, by the time you're done testing it out they're gonna release a new one and they might phase this one out.
That’s a smart looking jacket (as our friends on the other side of the pond would say). Looks good on you too. I wonder how this brand compares to Fivestar or Avi leather.
Interested in a direct comparison as well as they’re all working a similar angle. Master and Avi are sourcing from Pakistan, not 100% sure but I think 5 Star may be from Pakistan?
Hey Del, I’ve been a fan of your content for a while and really enjoy your reviews! Just curious, did the company refund your original purchase and send you this jacket for free? It looks great, but I noticed you didn’t mention any sponsorship. I still appreciate your review, but just wanted to understand the context. Thanks.. Imo you could pay a little less and go with 5star
Hey Ryan, as another Pakistani maker I think the 5 star comparison is apt. I reference them in my earlier Master Supply related unboxing when I discuss their apparent business model. The question is, can they deliver better QC, customer service, design etc to make up the difference in cost? It’s the essential question for any middle man. Probably possible considering not everyone is way deep into the details or wants to go custom. Josh from Master Supply reached out after my videos on the 224. He appreciated my thoughts on the design ie internal pockets and bulky welting and they have apparently changed their pocket configuration universally as a result. He offered to send a Daytona Reload to wear in with my suggested modifications. I was going to discuss this at length in the full review but if you find it helps to give more context here, then I feel like I should have included it to begin with. My apologies. I’ll update the description to reflect it. It remains my honest take on the jacket. I think the biggest question will be how the leather does with wear. It’s quite soft for 1.5mm cowhide. Which I can see appealing to some folks, it’s got an almost sweatshirt feel like deerskin does sometimes. But the flip side would less durability.
@@buster1173 with their sizes I would read 40 as medium, 42 large, 44 xl, 46 xxl. I normally take a 40 and the 40 mostly worked for me. I got this jacket with the body and sleeves shorter. Review in the works. Fyi I did get this one free after returning the Daytona 224
If you really like the 641 I’d go for it. Buy used for a huge discount, it’s a popular model and shows up often enough in the used market. If you prefer to buy new I can see the appeal here. The look of this jacket reminds me more of my Vanson comet. Either way, you’ll see that 641 or Comet will be made with better patterns and significantly tougher leather. They have a sense that you could run them over with a tank and they’d be fine which I don’t get from this jacket. All that to say, I’d like to do a video on it too
It's a decent-looking jacket, but my perception is to that MS Co seem to be a mixed bag, QC-wise, and that for less money, you could pick up a lightly-used Vanson Comet or Model B that would probably outlive you. (I've owned and worn my Comet hard for 23 years, and I'm not sure it's even fully broken-in yet, haha)
It really did remind me of my Comet, but less utilitarian. I also recommend buying used Vanson, Schott, etc for folks trying to save money. But some are just not into the used market. A mystery to me. So I’ve tried to be open to reviewing jackets I wouldn’t otherwise have checked out because their retail price is lower
Simmons Bilt is very similar to Aero from my understanding. Shangri-La jackets tend to have nice materials like Badalassi etc. haven’t handled one of their jackets or seen enough of them to form an opinion.
@@sca33 yes Simmons Bilt and Aero Leathers tend to be around twice the price of Master Supply. Your experience reflects mine, especially in the quality of the hide
I don't like that jacket, I'm not sure why, I don't like the color of the zippers, too silver, it's different from your other jackets, and I don't like the pants, in fact I don't like that too narrow belt either, I like them all your videos but I didn't like today's look at all but I thank you for your video I'm looking forward to it. Sorry for my English. I translate my comments through Google translate.
Thanks for the comment. I dig the pants & belt combo but it’s a rather vintage look. As for the jacket it costs half of what my least expensive other jackets do, so understandable that it’s less appealing. Have a good one!
Lies lies all lies all the time! It’s because I read putting some qualifier in parenthesis in the title garners more attention. And yeah I always give my honest take. Dunno, what would you suggest instead?
Impressive to say the very least,Very good value for money with a well cut design.
My first impression is 100% spot on there.
Just got my Spring Summer 2024 Nova and I absolutely love it! Definitely bang for your buck, 🍻
Congrats Issac!
I like this jacket. It looks good and especially for the price. I love my Schotts, but this jacket could get it done for certain looks.

Really nice jacket! Looks promising. Great pants by the way

@@DudsByDel yeah that is funny how some people like soft leather and other that came from classic Scott it feels weird, it is a good fit in any case
@@DudsByDel I'm looking forward to updates
I think I like this much better than the last one you got from this company. The price is pretty good too.
Yeah I agree. Much better this time around. Really curious to see how it does over time

Hah. A good point. I would hope they just iterate until they find “keeper” designs but who knows lol

Great jacket
Thanks Mark. I think it’s an improvement over the 224 for sure. Though I did like the glossier finish on it.
@@DudsByDel well you’re welcome bud been following you for a while now and honestly you rock the leather look

I usually take a large 46, but when I look at their size and it almost seems. I should, take an extra large or an extra extra large.

Much better. 😊
I thought so too!
Considering this vs. Schott 641. 641 worth the extra dough? Should do side by side comparison value jacket vs industry standard!

OK, gotcha. In any case, I appreciate your content- keep up the great work, Del
Any opinions or reviews of Sangri-La Heritage or Simmons Bilt?
Simmons Bilt is very similar to Aero from my understanding. Shangri-La jackets tend to have nice materials like Badalassi etc. haven’t handled one of their jackets or seen enough of them to form an opinion.
Simmons Bilt feels much more premium comparing to Master Supply. But the price is also higher. I sold my MS suede shacket eventually.

Why put "Honest Take" in your title? Are you usually dishonest?
Lies lies all lies all the time! It’s because I read putting some qualifier in parenthesis in the title garners more attention. And yeah I always give my honest take. Dunno, what would you suggest instead?
