    Regius built Windward repro! Black Stallion!

    Wow. I have always liked the originals except the elastic bit on the side. This is perfect with strap and buckle. You guys nailed it.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I had two Carhartts. Sold one and gave one to my counsin because they were too big. They sell a slim version at their Carhartt WIP store but at a premium. Same or worse materials but at a higher price because it is their fashion line. Trophy Clothing makes a nice repro but can't bring myself...

    Leather jacket stores in Tokyo

    An update - Jelado closed its Harajuku shop in 2021. That leaves the Ebisu shop which is close to the Warehouse Co denim shop.

    Rainbow Country - Special Ordering?

    I doubt any store would have a "big" selection of RCs unless you happen to be around on the day that they take delivery from RC. The way these stores operate is through pre-order. Stock they keep in store is minimal probably one unit per size each style so they sold out easily. You can...

    Does anyone recognize this Cafe Racer?

    Photo screams Bates even before I read the comments by others. So yes I agree with the others.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Thank you. I am looking at East West and surprised that they have Zerrows boots. I'd recommend checking those out as well. Zerrows has come up with a new sleeker last which looks really cool to me.

    Not the same because I was the only bidder and I won. Seller just refused to honour.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Thanks. Anyway, I was merely thinking if I should ask the local dealer about the buckles. I know the local dealer personally since even before he opened the shop and became a dealer. I bought both my lot 268 and 444 in Tokyo while I visited. I don't think they had any dealer back then...

    Wonder which would be cheaper for EU. Buying directly from Japan and pay the custom or buying from European dealers.

    Leather jacket stores in Tokyo

    Most of the shops I believe are still there at Ueno and Harajuku. Updates I can think of are Full Nelson at Shinagawa selling Double Helix and Electric Leather Studio https://www.fullnelson.jp/product-group/126 Schott's Tokyo flagship store at Shibuya. Gorilla at Goenji has probably sold out...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I have a 60s 666 with the same small label. Cracks in collar and shoulder area seem quite usual for the 60s Beck 666 I have seen on the market. This one seems to be in very good condition. Sizing is another problem they have. This size 42 seems normal but I've seen plenty of size 38 with 18...

    Here you go. Come to think of it. The seller might have used that as an excuse to cancel the transaction but in reality he thinks the final bid is too low.

    As said seller won't deal with proxy, probably don't wanna sell to overseas or seller demands certain payment method that proxy won't do.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Interesting. I think my special order Lot 268 just has plain brass buckles. Different leather they were using back then though. Perhaps I should get a pair of these gold plated 444.

    Brass buckles is special order only. Too bad they don't fit.

    Post War Sears Hecules Jackets

    Well. I am not getting the jacket after all. Seller refused to send it to the proxy. I got a refund minus the exchange rate spread. I have had second hand stores refusing to deal with proxy before but this is a first for me from a private seller.
