    FS Fine Creek Leather - Leon Custom size 42 or Trade for size 44

    It's a nice jacket, but I don't understand why the maker cuts off the epaulets. Why include them at all, right? GLWS.

    For Sale Vanson C2 Size 44

    Yes, I believe it is comp-weight leather. I have the medium weight in the newer Vanson leather on another model and this is much heavier. Edit: It weighs about 7 pounds.

    For Sale Vanson C2 Size 44

    Hi FL. I'm looking to sell my beautiful Vanson C2 size 44. It has a teacore-style leather and a Talon zip. The zipper is sturdy but somewhat tricky to get started, as it has to be lined up just right. The lining is in good shape and all the zippers do work. This fits somewhat large for a 44...

    FS: Y'2 Leather PR-64 vintage horse light cafe racer J-100 sz 42

    I think this model from Y'2 has small armholes, making it hard to fit the guys with bigger shoulders/arms. You can see the extra material riding above my shoulders.

    FS: Y'2 Leather PR-64 vintage horse light cafe racer J-100 sz 42

    Exactly, I'd say mine fit more like a 40. It was an amazing jacket though. The HH is nice.

    FS: Y'2 Leather PR-64 vintage horse light cafe racer J-100 sz 42

    No, I purchased it secondhand from Japan and had to sell it at a loss. I didn't try the style again.

    FS: Y'2 Leather PR-64 vintage horse light cafe racer J-100 sz 42

    I had the same experience with this Y'2 style. I usually wear a 44 in Y'2 and this was way too small.

    Ton, any updates on this one? I guess you got it and then it went into the closet for spring/summer. I'd love to see some pics with some wear this fall/winter.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I misspoke, it was 3 months. I was quoted 8 weeks. That said, I didn't push for frequent updates. I was in no hurry. The first contact was 06/18 and I received the jacket on 9/29 or so.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    @Canuck Panda can probably tell us exactly what it is, as it's a standard leather JL offers. I should have asked Alan for more details.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Thanks- it's very stiff. It will take a long time to break a jacket with leather like this in. I need to wear it in the rain to assist with the process.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Hi guys, I finally received my Johnson Leather CR. This is a mashup CR made with design elements from two of my favorite CRs: the Bates Competition and the Herm's Leathertog MJ-3B. While owning the Bates I linked to, I aspire to own the Herm's MJ-3B. I initially reached out to Johnson's in...

    Hey guys, observation/question here. Jensen Huang the Nvidia CEO is often seen in his $9000.00 lizard-embossed Tom Ford jacket in calf skin. Couldn't he easily have a custom-made real lizard skin jacket made by the likes of Johnson's for far less? How exceedingly expensive is Lizard versus the...
