How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

... I‘m 99% sure that I keep both as both fit me well IMO.

I couldn't live with having two different size labels from the same jacket manufacturer

@Marc mndt if you ordered your regular size on that Schott you’ll be fine. I had one a size up because the measurements looked good, but it was too big.

I notice yours has a windflap and mine doesn't. Where those custom options back then?

If going with something not in leather... then it had to be this

Most of the one’s I’ve seen have it, but you can cut them out easily.

Absolutely perfect

Thanks man! This is probably my most comfortable jacket. It just feels so good on. This Tenjin cowhide is something else!



Unfortunately for my bank account, the Japanese brands are the only otr sizes that work for me. Otherwise I have to go custom. Good thing for Yahoo Auctions Japan where I can get these jackets second hand at great prices.

Let's see your J-100!!



Thanks man, I truly did get lucky. These almost never come up for sale.

I've had other natural veg tan leathers and from my experience the sun doesn't do much at all to darken these leathers. Maybe in the beginning a little bit, but it's more so the dirt/pollutants in the air and then when you touch the leather, the oils in your skin that darken these jackets. I imagine the best way to accelerate the process would be to ride a motorcycle (besides oiling or conditioning the jacket)

Here’s that J-100

Paid the final installment for the ship john wills. At the 16 week point. Guess i’ll just wear it inside with the windows open. Family is used to that.

Bummer this wasn’t comfortable as it looks fantastic!

Sure, a gift to myself lol

This one is quite a lot of fun

I wanted to say something about Stu switching to new carpets but didn't want to be mean. XD It's a nice textile. I don't think a coat is a good idea, tho. Looks like a bathrobe a bit. @red devil , you'll be pimpin' in this for sure.

No, not really.

If it had a belt, you might have a point about the bathrobe lol

It is one of these instances where after looking at something for so many times you start to appreciate it. Maybe it is misplaced , maybe it isn't... I will not say anything more, and post fit pics when I get the chance.

Looks like the jacket is constricting around your chest how the fit feel for you

Yes it's definitely tight in the chest, but that's how these jackets fit. The cowhide is pretty mushy and soft so there's a bit of flex there. I knew from the first moment I put this one on that it will be mostly a non layering jacket for me.
