    Thanks guys for your inputs!

    Price differences between different hides

    The reasoning? Ha. their reasoning is that most top high fashion brands make their leather jackets out of lambskins. They like the suppleness, in which I can understand. But price-wise? Seriously? Lambskins more expensive than good cowhides or steerhides? I don't know. That is whY I need to find...

    Price differences between different hides

    I need your collective minds here. I was in a discussion with some fashion junkies who think that lambskin is king. I want to find out roughly how much different good quality hides cost, as a raw material. I seriously need to provide some convincing figures to get back into the discussion. Any...

    Cafe racer length

    Looks good to me, most people would consider it perfect as it just covers your jean's belt.

    Regretting to put patches on my new Aero A-2......

    Ah well, I got a set of CBI patches from you a while ago, which should be able to cover up all the holes (if I decide to take the 101st patches off).

    Regretting to put patches on my new Aero A-2......

    Thanks for the infomation. I think this has also been explained a while ago (actually a few years back....). What I was hoping was to have it look like the original theatre jacket, not a jacket for the vet.

    The Real Mc Coys Japan

    Slimming down the sleeves is quite different from shortening them. It involves have a smaller arm hole i.e. both the cutting of the arm panels and the body panels will have to be adjusted accordingly. This will certainly affect the whole pattern of the jacket.

    Regretting to put patches on my new Aero A-2......

    I didn't expect this to be dug up now. Well, the jacket is still in my wardrobe... And well, as far as I remember, I protested a few times by email and 'the people in charge' at that time still insisted that it was on the correct side. I also remember I also gave them specific instruction...

    The Real Mc Coys Japan

    That is so obvious! It is also quite interesting to see RMJ starting to expand their global business. I hope their product quality won't suffer from that.

    Real McCoy's USA web store open

    That is a shame. I also dealt with DD around a year ago and was a pleasant experience. Sometimes I feel bad as some of these makers/vendors are recommended by us in the beginning. Maybe when people start up their businesses they tend to be nicer and more immaculate to build their images...

    London

    For your reference guys/lads, there's a relative new denim/vintage fashion shop right near the corner of Lewis Leathers in Windmill street. They have plenty of Japanese denim if it is your cup of tea (and a couple of leather jackets as well, probably Japanese as well?).

    Real McCoy's USA web store open

    I do now own any RMC jackets, but I have handled a few, and they are beautiful. I think the general 'hostility' here stemmed from many of the A2 threads. We all know that many of us are so picky about how authentic about our A-2 repro, right down to the direction of the stitches. RMJ A-2s are...

    The bottom hem of the jacket where we have the hanging lining. I just wonder how the RMC J-100 finish looks like.

    Diamond Clothing Buco J100 review.

    I think it is the original design of the J-100 jacket, well, more of a racing shirt, that is why the lining fabric runs full length towards the seam of the leather. I would like to see someone with the RMC J-100 with close-up pictures.

    Yes, Seb, that was exactly what I meant.

    Diamond Clothing Buco J100 review.

    Ok, for your reference, this is my Size 40 J-100 here. This was one of the earlier jackets made by Dave with a special request of a red lining. Sorry about my flashy bed sheet........ No problem with pocket alignments. The lining at he bottom is indeed slightly hung outside the leather...

    Diamond Clothing Buco J100 review.

    Seb, it's because their QCs are immaculate. Not that any of us here are obsessed with those brands though. And thanks to Carlos840, talking about price and product perfection ratio, I think Lewis Leathers are the best. But as always, some of the fellow members think that they are 'sissy' fashion...

    Diamond Clothing Buco J100 review.

    Absolutely agree. Like Superfluous said, if you want a perfectly stitched jacket, you may want to go for the high end, mass produced jackets such as Armani, Belstaff or Gucci, I imagine that it is easier for them to have the perfect sewings as most of the use much thinner hides to begin with...

    Diamond Clothing Buco J100 review.

    Well, the construction is not perfect, but it is still a beautiful jacket. The Japanese hide looks significantly different from my black Horween hide though, mine is a bit smoother and still looks pretty new after a few outings earlier on this year.
