    Rainbow Country Single Rider

    If you don't mind, can someone say a few things about why vintage Talon NOS are better then regular modern zippers? I know they're more rare/valuable... but not sure why. Do they function better? Sorry for being lazy, I bet I could find it w/ enough googling. But sometimes people like to...

    Double Helix Works?

    There's an option to return/replace I believe w/ DHWorks. Is it easy? Not sure.

    Double Helix Works?

    Very interesting. Just to dive a little deeper in pricing disparity, there's something called the Big Mac Index. Basically, it compares prices of a similar/equal product all around the world. By comparing the price of a Big mac in Sweden, USA, Japan, Brazil... one can THEORETICALLY see if a...

    Double Helix Works?

    Yes, this is one of the advantages of Brick & Mortar-- there's a term for it-- experiential shopping. But I'm comparing oranges to oranges. Meaning, given two similar online purchases with equal "experiences"-- I have a feeling that most buyers would pick the one with several hundred dollar...

    Double Helix Works?

    I believed you've just chronicled the slow death of retail brick and mortar. But in all seriousness, some retailers can survive and thrive against the Amazon threat. BUT-- just think about the online side of the equation. Most of the brick and mortar benefits don't apply to online purchases...

    Double Helix Works?

    This is taking the thread in a different direction... but... I know many people who wouldn't know which one is a masterpiece. I guess my point is, Grand Seiko is often a stainless steel watch with no gold, platinum, diamonds, etc. All the "distinctive" features you point out are only...

    Y'2 Leathers

    It seems there's only one dealer in Tokyo (Kanokan in Ueno) for Y'2. I could be wrong-- I hope I'm wrong. Anyone know other stores that carry Y'2 in Tokyo?

    Double Helix Works?

    These are great pics. The fit pics are also a great help. I'm definitely putting Double Helix on my watchlist when I visit Japan. As for the Double Helix "boring" designs-- I can see your point. They are not pushing the boundaries on steadfast designs. They're playing it safe I guess...

    Double Helix Works?

    That "thing" is dumb. Any store that pulls that kind of nonsense is not going to earn any trust. And why would I buy a very expensive jacket from a store I don't trust?

    Double Helix Works?

    Don't mean to be obtuse... but can someone explain pricing differences? There's a retailer/dealer in California that sells a trucker style Double helix jacket for around $1700 US. On the double helix works website, you can order the same one for $1100 US. Add about $75 for shipping. Either...

    Y’2 Leather Fit did I miss the mark?

    How's the fit on this now? In my experience, you're not going to get much more "breathing room" with HH, despite breaking it in. Jacket looks good on you, but it may just have to come at the expense of comfort.
