    What Is the Allure of Japanese Leather Jackets?

    @Coriu Your posts ooze passive aggression and thinly disguised contempt. Your claimed desire to "understand" the mindset of those who purchase Japanese jackets comes across much like someone trying to understand what motivates a serial killer. Therefore, while I own several Japanese jackets, I...

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    I have three CRs -- a vintage Buco J-100 and 2 Himel Kensingtons. There are several other great CRs, including the FW Speedmaster (for the few that it fits properly), Rainbow Country, RMC (peaky shoulders), FL Route 66, Thedi (non-washed), and many vintage models.

    I really like Thedi’s washed hides on certain jackets. That said, I much prefer unwashed on a CR. IMHO, one of the hallmarks of a CR is clean lines.

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

    There are things I have not tried YET, and then there are things I will NEVER try. I haven't YET tried a cross-zip, but I might. I haven't yet flown into space but, at the current pace of technological advancement, I might before I die. On the other hand, I can confidently say that I will...

    What’s your favorite leather for a jacket?

    Absolutely, although I was never a flip-flop guy and I still dig guayaberas.

    What’s your favorite leather for a jacket?

    So true. I much prefer cooler weather clothing and my wardrobe reflects this preference. I have often thought that I would be happier -- at least from a clothing perspective -- if I lived in a cooler climate that was more conducive to my wardrobe preferences. Then, I take my dogs for a walk...

    I previously owed two BK jackets. I had no issue with the construction, but I really did not like the Liberty HH. It had a vinyl quality. I have heard that other batches of Liberty HH had a different feel. BK explains that its Liberty HH is designed to age very, very quickly. Some TFL...

    What’s your favorite leather for a jacket?

    Really interesting and candid discussion regarding how we employ our leather jackets!!! I fall squarely in the purely aesthetic / no rain camp. I purchase and wear leather jackets solely because I love the aesthetic. As someone else aptly described, leather jackets are "night-out" garments...

    Australian Wagyu Ribeye hands down. Japanese A5 Wagyu is too rich -- its like a dessert. American Wagyu ain't much different than an aged, bone-in non-wagyu ribeye. Australian Wagyu Ribeye blends the best of both worlds -- rich, fatty, and flavorful, but not so rich as to overwhelm like...

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

    Great post. Thank you. Interestingly, we here on TFL do not discuss super high end Italian leather, primarily because it is rarely used for vintage reproductions and/or by the repro manufacturers favored by TFL. That said, there are some Italian leathers that are other-worldly. I own...

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

    I have no issue with people posting opinions, as opinions. I take exception when people post subjective opinions as objective truisms, and attempt to subjugate/quash other opinions and indirectly demean others in the process. Stating that those who favor Shinki have been conned and manipulated...

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

    I respect you immensely, but . . . inflammatory statements like this are counterproductive, entirely subjective, and a product of your well-documented anti-Shinki dogma/bias. To be clear, I do not believe Shinki is superior to any other HH, Italian or otherwise. Rather, I personally prefer the...
