What Is the Allure of Japanese Leather Jackets?
I am beginning to learn, that you may not be focused enough on a vintage design or detail that helps you understand what is happening with the repro market. The vintage jackets in the Finds and Deals sections represent a very large swath of leather jackets, so your statement is general in...- Kuro

What Is the Allure of Japanese Leather Jackets?
My answer: I saw the Centinela and the J-31, and I very much liked that style of leather jacket. I did my homework, a fair bit. There literally were no one else that made these two styles of jackets. My options were Freewheelers or RMC. If the Centinela was made by Schott, or Aero (or...- Kuro

What Is the Allure of Japanese Leather Jackets?
But I will state that @Coriu This statement is an assumption not based on fact (the part about low wage and drunk sewers), and is making a stereotype. It could be just as easy to say that a manufacturer pays a high wage for a high skill and does not allow people to be drunk at work, and has a...- Kuro

What Is the Allure of Japanese Leather Jackets?
I mirror what Monitor and Navetsea said. Jacket styles I can not find other than made in Japan. This is my primary reason for purchasing a Japanese leather jacket, I could not get it anywhere else.- Kuro

Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........
I don't see how the hem is too big... Looks good from where I am sitting. My assumption on the wavy zipper? I imagine that the jacket is fully made before being washed (or whatever the process is that he does to soften the leather). The leather and the zipper tape (nylon?) are dissimilar...- Kuro

Help with a Thedi Jacket
I placed an order directly with Theodoros at the Beginning of August for a leather CR. Unless you don't like taking measurements and photos of yourself, the order was painless, polite and just plain good. Also, I made several specific custom requests on the pattern I choose, and he accepted...- Kuro

Freewheelers leather jackets
Just some feedback. I have purchased two Freewheelers jackets from Watanabe-san of Genco Clothing, a Centinela and a La Brea. On both occasions I sent him photos of a jacket I own with measuring tape showing how I want a measurement and for comparison. He would then take the same measurements...- Kuro

FS: Aero x LVC Bird of Prey halfbelt size 42 / 44
That is a surprisingly roomy medium. It would have fit me, but perhaps not a great fit. But 40-44 is my size, cut and design depending. But wow that was a good looking jacket. I remember now seeing it when you posted it in February. Glad you had a clean and fast sale!- Kuro
