You already have some really great examples!

"縫製に関しても様々な角度から検証し、充分な強度を担保する事が出来るよう配慮しております。

そのひとつが、このミシンピッチ(針の間隔)です。

一見すると、ミシンピッチが細かい方が緻密な感じで縫製技術が高く感じられるかと思いますが、実は反対なんですね。

ある程度の広い間隔で、しっかりとテンションを掛けて縫い上げる方が圧倒的に技術力を要します。

細かいピッチで縫う方が縫製も安定しているように誤魔化せるのですが、ピッチが広いと少し曲がっただけでステッチラインがガタガタに見えてしまいます。

さらに、ミシンピッチ(針数)が多いという事は、切り取り線のようになってしまう為、縫製部分から革が切れてしまう可能性が高まります。

特にベジタブルタンニン鞣しの革で本格的なライダースを作る場合、このミシンピッチに対して充分な配慮が必要になるのです。"

"We also inspect the sewing from various angles and take care to ensure sufficient strength.

One of them is this sewing machine pitch (interval between needles).

At first glance, you might think that the finer the sewing machine pitch, the more precise and sophisticated the sewing technique, but in reality, it's the opposite.

Overwhelming technical skills are required to sew with a certain amount of wide space and apply tension firmly.

Sewing with a fine pitch can be deceived as if the stitching is more stable, but if the pitch is wide, the stitch line will look rickety even with a slight bend.

Furthermore, the fact that the sewing machine pitch (number of stitches) is large increases the possibility that the leather will be cut from the sewing part because it looks like a perforated line.

Especially when making full-fledged riders with vegetable tanned leather, it is necessary to give sufficient consideration to this sewing machine pitch."

Langlitz sized stitch counts is making a come back in Japan?

Newest Rainbow Country collaboration with Mushmans, a bit weird, this is a vest that's designed to be worn over an A2 jacket...

All they did was layer the 2 items that they make every year.

Never been a fan of the Menlo, but this could be a good copy. I’m still waiting for RF to release their copy of the Marchless.

I think it's a Cal straight zip, but a very old one at that with the corduroy lined collar and crown zip

Cool double rider I saw at MASH, very crusty and has turned green like the Hulk.

Flathead, Real McCoy's and Schott

Probably the nicest jackets I was able to try in Japan, also found out I'm a 42 and not 44 like I had thought... (Probably a 44 in some of the smaller fitting brands). I didn't end up buying any, was hoping to get a Rainbow Country but it sold the week before I was able to make it to the store.

Looks like this is the CHP jacket that was featured in the movie "A Place in the Sun" circa 1951. Really love this jacket.

Yes, I think it was originally black. I wonder what's happened to make it green, the side panels are green and the arms but the main panel looks mostly fine. Looks dry and crusty, mould?
