Dagger Motorcycle Twill Shirt

This shirt jacket leans much heavier on the latter half of its name, with Kevlar-reinforced shoulder/elbows and a thick (thick) flannel liner. I, a moron, thought that this would be a good Los Angeles summer riding jacket. Despite being sorely mistaken, I'm still super impressed with the build quality. A few notes:

1. This shirt jacket doesn't flow air super well like my Villain jacket. It's got the underarm vents which probably work, but it's nothing like the breast pocket vents or back vents on the Villain. I'm sure this is by design, but I can't stress enough that anything above like...90 degrees is too much for this jacket. I'd say that unless you live somewhere with cool summers, it's a spring/fall piece.

2. You'll look rad as hell wearing this jacket. You can flip the cuffs up and push the sleeves to mid-forearm, but that's about as much as you can get, since there's a panel between sides of the arm zipper. This is a weird and niche point to make, but if you expected a shirt shirt like me, you'll want to know.

3. This jacket collects lint and fuzz and hair and stuff like nobody's business. It might be the fabric, it might be some kind of experimental electric armor field, but just keep your lint roller handy.

4. Armor fits great inside the jacket and doesn't make it noticeably bulkier or bulgier. BYOBulge.

5. The zipper can be a little finicky at first, but I imagine it might find its path sooner or later.

I can't wait for the weather to cool down enough to…
