Why yes it is!!

He also did a really nice Indian jacket for the summer with perforated black and red leather, and a great new jacket for my wife...plus a few vests.  Take it you've done the ROK as well

A few months before taking delivery of the SEUC and while still in Korea; had a custom leather jacket made.  Custom fit with zip out liner, vents front and back, and most importantly the patches.  Chose to go traditional B & O but thanks to photos sent by VaEagle of his bike and the tank emblems; I had them made into patches for both sleeves to match those on the bike.  Had them make it with heavier wieght leather and some chaps with the SE patch on the back of the belt.  Great for the winter riding here in Belgium.

Very Nice looking jacket Baron.  When we lived in Belgium, I got a picture of my husband at the one KM sign to Silly - Silly 1.  I got boxes and boxes of pics around here somewhere I'd have to go through to find it, but we loved the pic and the ability to laugh at ourselves.  Almost 8 years stationed at SHAPE.  Lived in Thieusies for the last few years.  Loved it there.

Ah, Osan, the "pearl" of the orient.  "Love you no chit, by me drinkie" [smiley=oops.gif], but that's another story.  Spent many a days in Osan during my previous life in the Navy.  Used to fly in there all the time when I was a crew member on "Hercky-Birds". Had many boots, golf shoes, leather jackets, and uniforms made at a place called "Botany 500", just right outside the main gate on the right hand side.  This was back in the 70's so don't even know if it exists anymore.  Stuff fit like a glove and really reasonable (read cheap) in price.  Brings back great memories.  (except the smell of kim-chi everywhere.  

BTW, sweet jacket.  They did a great job on it.

Thanks for the note; wife and I have already taken similar pictures and sent them back to our kids who thought they were great.  Just been here 5 months and am loving it; can't wait for spring and summer to get here with it's 14 hours of daylight.  Already planned the ride to the Spanish Med (Malaga) for the Euro HOG rally...this is the only way to see Europe!!!  Wife wants a new bike too.

Your "waitress" is still there; think she told me about you - [smiley=oops.gif]
Don't remember the "Botany 500" so it may be gone; smell is still there!  
Thanks for the compliment on the Jacket; getting some good wear time over here right now!

We never had bikes while stationed in Belgium, got a good buddy who runs the Chateau Gendebien who rides an ultra there now.  Would have been wonderful to tour Europe on a bike.  Enjoy yourself doing just that while you can.  We got a little home sick and so we decided to return to the USA.  Living where you are is waaaaaay better.  Don't hurry back.

Is it me, or do other people have trouble with HD sizes in jackets?  I've got a few extra pounds around the middle, but only about 15lbs over the "ideal" for a man my age and bone structure, and every single HD jacket I try on is VERY tight around the waist.  I wear a medium jacket or shirt in almost everything I buy, but the HD jacket won't even come close, and if I go to the large, the sleeves are about 3 inches too long, and the shoulders hang off...

I'd really like one of the SE Jackets, but I'm not going to walk around lookin' like Joe Chit The Rag Man...

Terry,
I've always had a problem with HD's leather jackets.  I always have to go one size bigger than my normal.  I think they're designed for the Navy Seal "V" shape body (get it "V" shape?...sorry, I digress).  Anyway, I have the same problem.  Too much middle-age spread where I should have a "V".  But I can buy a leather jacket anywhere else and get my normal size. Methinks they just run smaller.
