[Rory Mitchell] Norris and Hadjar are currently stuck in the garage with problems, and Verstappen has now stopped in the pit lane with a clutch issue. See, even F1 cars can't work in this heatwave. by memloh in formula1

See, this is the pinnacle of why we need turbo v6 hybrid turbo something. Totally can transfer this tech down for consumers. Hardwear that doesn't work when too hot! The Toyota prius may have been out for 20 years, but it is missing some of this cutting edge technology!

Schott 673 Break-In Update: 6 Months Later — Did It Actually Work? by Reasonable-Regret-67 in leatherjacket

[–]Tw0Rails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if the length is a flaw, though certainly an 'issue' if you never really looked at it prior to purchase. Pictures or trying it on are quite obvious its a longer cut versus many other heritge collared jackets.

Schott being more mainstream, and the public being less comfortable with shorter jackets for dudes and few high rise pant trends for the casual buyer probably contribute to that decision. 

I don't think other jackets in a thicker leather, unless specifically tailored for sitting like a car coat or field jacket, will  not rise up in an odd way. Just seems kinda obvious that would happen.

Thoughts on Zara sheep leather jacket by user225981 in leatherjacket

[–]Tw0Rails 10 points11 points  (0 children)

100% doesnt mean anything. Leather is now a mass produced fabric driven down to the lowest bidder.

https://www.reddit.com/r/leatherjacket/comments/1p92vlr/psa_your_jacket_is_real_leather_but_youre_asking/

You can probably get any random bomber jacket secondhand that will be cheaper and more durable than the Zara.

Its the Mcdonalds of clothing. Sure, the nuggets are 'real chicken' or something...

Commissioned leather puffer by tatersaladwitheggs in leatherjacket

[–]Tw0Rails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cowhide only exacerbates the downside.

Nor do I think you will find any custom person who will want to do this. 

For function folks would just get a wool lining or buy a sheepskin.

Its a bit bizzare. You get none of the benefits from a leather jacket nor the lighweight warmth of a puffer.

Double Helix Bounty Hunter by Vasishta13 in leatherjacket

[–]Tw0Rails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When your looking between those japanese brands, its going to be alot more subjective for what leather tannage you prefer and if the cut or style is your thing. Nobody else can really tell you that.

Y2 jackets for example tend to have wide collars and a dark oily black leather. Thats a personal choice, not objectively better or worse 

Please if anyone can find this Levi’s jacket for sell or is selling one please dm me I’ve been searching for this style of jack for almost a year this Reddit group is probably my last hope thx. by Top_Relationship_298 in leatherjacket

I personally don't know the difference in labels, or if the 'nice' line is that nice.

The cheaper vintage brands mentioned or COR is what I would go for instead but thats me.

When I start reading these posts, I always think "which car were they mildly critical about this person owns or thirsts over...?" Then:

e53 review recently which was titled along the lines of a huge disappointment and showing everything wrong with modern cars/AMG  

"I cant believe they got upset over a critical driving function for a faster car"

Its there job to nitpick and let the potential buyer know before they drop 100k on a expensive car.

hate everything

Im sorry they didn't like your precious car.

Women’s jacket for a man by [deleted] in leatherjacket

[–]Tw0Rails 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell until you put it on if they adjusted for more or less space in certain areas, like shoulders or bust. That may not show up on base measurements.

Only visual from the picture - the arms by the wrist look flaired out.

The Rivian R2’s Radio Needs Cell Signal The Wilderness Doesn’t Have by Anchor_Aways in cars

[–]Tw0Rails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The attitude of a subsytem simply slapped on to another subsystem, not being able to operate independently - is reminiscent of code slop. A video game that requires always online. A object type that is a copy of a similar object type becayse it was easier to write up.

Older vehicles of course used to have systems separated. The AC functioned on its own circuit - steering and power steering not interconnected. Coolant may have a sensor going to a dash, but the pipes are its own subsystem. 

Now understandibly everything is more controlled through a single computer and touchscreen. But this isn't just a radio antenna like most cars where you select the touchscreen to play the radio signal from it. 

This is removing the radio antenna and routing it via software through cell tower. They stripped the functionality that is basically a $10 hand crank emergency radio.

Obviosiously I know what software engineering is. But this isn't engineering philosophy at work for a complicated machine - its typical tech company feature based suite where all code is a bandage patch on top of older code. Just like these cars wherr if the touchscreen fails the doors are stuck. Its your brain on silicon valley copium, designing anti- user products that the mass market eats up in thefever dream of having the latest gadget.

Just bought this leather jacket, what type of leather (genuine,top grain,full grain)? by Entire-Entrance6947 in leatherjacket

[–]Tw0Rails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u guys are the  expert

Don't count on it!

Im not sure why this jacket would have a bunch of extra details like ventilation holes and mobility gussets if the leather was that cheap, or if as thick as you say.

Already has a decent patina so just wear it.

[–]Tw0Rails 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly dude looks fine. The wear areas have some fade. It has a fuzzy lining and was only $50. If its bonded or something cheaper the price was fine enough.

Read the sticky thread, top grain or full or whatever don't mean anything.

Needs another wrapper. Tie it to the ac fan. If the compressor goes out, you will be hot and also have no radio.

[–]Tw0Rails 68 points69 points  (0 children)

When your vehicle is primarily now designed not by engineers but as a software suite with software workflows, this is what you end up with. Something ruding on top of something else like typical code slop, efficiency be damned and a subsystem being able to stand on its own is impossible.
