![]() ![]() I found that to be true on a 16″ barrel but the biggest surprise was the Covert Comp’s performance on an 11.5″ barrel. It just seemed like someone should be able to do better.īlack River Tactical claims that their Covert Comp, a linear compensator with a unique internal geometry, suppresses flash nearly as well as an A2 flash suppressor. The fireball created by the short AR-15 pistol barrels that I was using them on were nearly as large as they were with a bare muzzle. I tried several a handful of other linear compensators and found that, while they did direct the blast and flame forward, that is really all they did. For looks, durability and comfort, I found this jacket to be well worth the price.I turned to the Covert Comp from Black River Tactical as a bit of a last resort. Well-cared for leather products can have a lifetime of service, and this jacket is no exception. ![]() With the proper care and cleaning, if you decide to invest in the jacket, it’s going to last you a long time. I wholly advise checking their online site for deals if you’re in the market for a leather jacket. At the time of this review, you could get an additional 40% and free shipping if you’re purchasing online, bringing the cost down to $192.00 out the door. Were this the final price, I’d still consider purchasing the jacket were my budget to allow it. The MSRP is $700.00, with the purchase price set at $319.99. The Black Rivet Distressed Leather Moto Jacket is no exception. Wilsons Leather outlets and online stores always have pretty good sales going on I don’t think there is ever a time where I’ve paid the price listed on the tag for my purchase. This has happened with most of the leather jackets I’ve tried on in the last few years. As a guy with slightly larger shoulders, I did find the large size a little tight around the shoulders, but not enough to prevent me from wearing it comfortably. Overall, I found the look and feel of this jacket to match my tastes pretty closely. The jacket is balanced in its look and feel, giving it the ability to skirt the line between casual and formal. I felt like I could wear it with a plain black t-shirt, as well as a nice dress shirt depending on where you are going. It’s MacGyverish (a word meaning “outstanding” that I made up) good looks easily makes the jacket a classic for those of us who appreciated that era of TV.Įven if you aren’t an old school TV enthusiast, the look and feel of the jacket will draw you in. This is the first brown leather jacket I’ve had a chance to review, and it’s quickly becoming my favorite. The second thing I noticed was the beautiful cognac brown color of the leather and the way the distressed look played in the light. The jacket is light into comparison with other jackets on the marketīefore anything else, I noticed how soft the leather shell of this jacket is. ![]() The filler inside the jacket is also made of 100% polyester, with the total weight of the jacket coming in at 2 pounds, 7 ounces (1.1 kilograms). The shell is constructed of hand-distressed, semi-vegetable tanned sheep’s leather sourced from Pakistan with a cotton body liner and interior sleeves lined with polyester. Their online stores offer an even more extensive line of products in addition to increasing brand awareness and improving customer experience. On a more personal note, my wife and I have been visiting the Wilsons Leather Outlet in North Bend, Washington, each time we take a trip to the west side of Washington from our home in Spokane. Today, Wilsons Leather offers in-season, designer products at their outlet stores. In 2008, the G-III Apparel Group purchased Wilson’s Leather and E-commerce divisions. The Minnesota-based Wilsons Leather, formed in 1988 by a merging of Bermans Leather and Wilsons House of Suede and Leather, is a modern day leather clothing and apparel retailer known famously for their jackets, bags, and accessories. While not identical to the one Richard Dean Anderson wore in the series, there are enough similarities that it took me back to nostalgia-land for a while. I was rather pleased when asked to review the Wilsons Leather Black Rivet Distressed Leather Moto Jacket, as it immediately reminded me of those days thirty years passed. Splitting my time between my two new loves, I noticed that during the show, MacGyver had a habit of wearing a brown distressed leather jacket. As a young boy of eleven, I was first introduced to the MacGyver television series right about the time the Nintendo Entertainment System was released in America.
