Double Helix Works?

[JonS1967]

Thanks! The lining is cotton, feels dense and sits tightly in place. However it is nothing special. Perhaps most telling is that I haven't really thought twice about it whereas I've had jackets with liners that feel cheap and/or loose.

Thanks for your description. It must be the same cotton they use on the Innovator, which I quite like, except it it’s not quilted. I guess it’s a good sign if you don’t notice it.

Good to hear that about your friend's jacket! And yes the colour is dark seal, great colour, you won't be disappointed.

Where can I pick one up in the US?

Where do you live? Snake Oil Provisions in Los Angeles sells their jackets, but they don’t carry the 1930s jacket. I’m not sure if they can order it for you or not. I just ordered directly from the website in Japan. I ordered my Innovator directly from the Japanese website. It was less expensive and it took roughly 30 days for it to arrive.

This is the way

I believe I've lost my mind as well. I've been eyeballing the classic 1930 in black deerskin for some time now, might pull the trigger soon. I've read everything I can about deerskin jackets and people seem to really like them.

The fact is that my classic 1930s in size 44 is at its best with just a t-shirt underneath. Like I previously wrote, a thin extra layer is doable but if I'm honest with myself, if extra layers are needed I find myself reaching for my other jackets.

Only difference between size 46 and 44 is shoulders and pit to pit. Also deerskin supposedly drapes nicely and is very comfortable as it's soft and pliable. So basically I've convinced myself I need the deerskin in size 46 for the colder days of autumn. Lol.

Awesome! Is that the seal brown or is it black?

It's the seal brown, it can definitely shift colors depending on the lighting. From Black to brown, to a nice reddish brown.

Mine is breaking in nicely. I slept in it last night… Hahaha

Wow! That looks awesome! I love the color variation, depending on the lighting. I’ve been wanting a brown jacket in my collection, you’re not making it any easier on me! Lol.

Unless it’s really soft leather and loosely fit, I’ve found that my joints hurt so bad the next day if I were to wear a leather jacket to sleep. Not worth it.

Somehow I slept like a baby.

Thanks so much! Jacket looks great on you.

You prob don’t move around while you sleep. In contrast, I move around a lot, swinging my arms and all, while I sleep. So my body becomes sore from the movements that got restricted by the tight jacket.

 

[Jaymig926]

Anyone have the A-1 and/or the helix riders Tres? Thinking of picking one or both up

 

[Jaymig926]

Also anyone pick up the g-1 Virgil in olive collab from snake oil provisions ? I have it in black but haven’t seen it in olive

That one is really nice. I got a chance to try it on in Japan same time I bought my DH. What color did you go with?

I have the black one, with snaps.
Not sure I could pull off the undyed version.
