Here is my promised report on the Chinese-made leather jackets I ordered. I now own three, and I believe each jacket deserves its own individual review. (and 2 more jackets on the way). This report covers the Jiashi Mulholland horsehide jacket that I ordered from Sammy at Crush on Retro. The ordering process was fast, seamless, and professional.

Here is the next installment of my promised reports on Chinese-made leather jackets, following my Jiashi Mulholland review. I now own three jackets, with two more on the way. I believe each maker deserves an individual review. This report covers one of my two Veluokldly jackets: a 1940s A-2-inspired half-belt. Its fit and pattern are its strongest features; the hardware is my main reservation.

Here is the third installment of my reports on Chinese-made leather jackets, following my Jiashi Mulholland and first Veluokldly review. I now own three jackets, with two more on the way. Each jacket deserves an individual review. This report covers my Veluokldly Lewis-inspired cross zip. Its fit, leather and plaid lining are its strongest features; uneven action-back construction and lightweight zippers are my main reservations.

Thanks for the in-depth reviews. Very interesting to read. I think these jackets are like “tuition” to help one understand what styles and designs fit ones preferences without the financial hit. The problem is you can’t stop at one.

Recommend Real Simons, Ray Kwok and JiaShi. You can buy on Taobao through middle men or from resellers.

I found Crush on Retro very good. One price ( Jacket, taxes , tariff, shipping) all included. The market with several brands. I found the Jiashi very good. You can see the rankings according to this forum in an earlier post I had AI compile.
