Comparison between :

-Real simons new brakehouse J24 (corrected fit and new leather)
-Jiashi J24 cowhide teacore
-Double helix innovator (I sold it I can't show picture)

Price :

-600 usd
-300 usd
-2K usd

Leather :

-Simons is an amazing teacore horside, very similar to double helix, amazing look, grain, feeling, touch, smell, amazing for 600 usd
-Jiashi is a teacore cowhide, less noble than horsehide but very resistant and durable, do not crease/wrinkle a lot, very stiff at first, for 300 usd, it's trully unbelievable
-Double helix : very similar than the simons one, less shiny, stiffer brand new

Furr :

-Simons is amazing : 9.5/10
-Jiashi is very good : 8/10
-Double helix : very similar than the simons one 9.5/10

Hardware :

-Simons and Jiashi : the same quality for both : ok tier 6/10
-Double helix innovator : 9/10

Stitching

-Simons 8/10
-Jiashi 8.5/10
-Double helix 10/10

Fit

-8.5/10 for Real simons
-8/10 for Jiashi
-8.5/10 Double Helix

Value for money

-Simons : 9.5/10, horsehide is top tier
-Jiashi : 10/10, even 11, it's trully great and way better than any schott cowhide/steerhide
-Double helix 4/10, hardware and stichting trully better compared to chinesse jacket

To Summarize :

If you want a really beautiful jacket for little money, the Jiashi is for you
If you want a beautiful horsehide experience and ready to pay double, go simons
If you want to get f**** in a Japanese way, go double helix

Some 2 cents and I'll preface it with this aiming to be completely constructive: We simply need more actual detail.

"It's amazing", "very good" or "very similar to the other one which is amazing" are just absolutely meaningless. Specially if you say "A is very similar to C" and then "C is very similar to A", in what way are they similar? It feels like you're running in circles.

Why is one a certain score and the other one 0.5 more/less? What has the stitching on one that is lacking on the others? What is lacking in the fit in all of them? Are they all equally lacking in fit and in the same areas? And why is the Jiashi so teacored? Does it teacore stupidly easily? Did you use sandpaper on it? And like this ad infinitum.

I dunno, one piece is pretty good. I would argue anyone who doesnt geek out on it is missing out.

This is the crush on retro maroon "mens half belt sports leather jacket". I was hoping for jiashi, but it is veluokldly. I love the fit, its slick shiny finish out of horsehide with decent 1.5mm heft. The maroon shifts from maroon brown in the shadows to bright crimson in direct sunlight. Im very happy with it.

That looks like mine but shinier. Also Veluokeyboardheadbutt. Perhaps they've changed hide provider or something in their finishing or top coat. Or perhaps they got a shiny and a matte version of the same jacket.

There are several that are very close to eachother, like the '1930s sports jacket' vs 'mens half belt sport' which is what this one is. They might have different leathers for each. I wouldnt be surprised if they started adding a shinnier top coat to align with the image of higher end brands like y2's hand oiled horse.
