Didn't find an accelerant to try on but did find an Accelerant stealth (same "chassis" but a little different)
It was selling for 300 and overall a nice jacket. The problem with the Stealth is that its not really a leather jacket. Just a nice textile jacket with leather on the sleeves. I could have nabbed the standard Accelerant for 350 but they didn't have any lying around. Tried on Alpinestars Stunt and it definitely had a nice quality to it but I wanted a better liner for the price and some parts of the jacket kinda had me going meh.

Guy pulls out a Joe Rocket and its my size (46). Huge mixed bag this thing is.
Dated design, meh leather, shitty collar and weak removable liner but it had lots of zipper vents. Started thinking about the Accelerant and reconsidered spending 350+ on an Icon jacket.

Do I go with the original plan and drop a decent chunk or do I go the tigger route?

Doh...got another jacket.

Joe Rocket Blaster 4.0 in black. $170 impulse buy.
This is definitely going to be my hot weather beater jacket.

Now I have a high quality ugly jacket on the way and a low quality beater.
Maybe I'll get the zipper fixed on my Dyno and this way I'll have a high quality beater to go along with the rest.
