    Going to Osaka Japan next month. Where to buy leather jackets?

    Thanks and you are correct. Lining is wool.

    Going to Osaka Japan next month. Where to buy leather jackets?

    I was at Junk Vintage in Osaka and they had a nice selection of leather. One of the Brakeman coats I tried was there.

    Going to Osaka Japan next month. Where to buy leather jackets?

    Colimbo Stockman coat which was too small. It was my favourite out of all the jackets I saw on this trip. This was the belle of the ball for me and too bad it was a bit tight. Deerskin Colimbo car coat. It was nice but deer is not my thing for a jacket and the sleeves were kind of large in...

    Going to Osaka Japan next month. Where to buy leather jackets?

    Clutch Cafe/Jelado West. They were more than happy to let me snap a few photos so I can remember the great experience I had at their shop. I am sure buying a jacket helped.

    Going to Osaka Japan next month. Where to buy leather jackets?

    I did not like the collar, which I knew would be either love or hate before even seeing it. It was nice but it didn't wow me or anything. It was a bit small also but it was the collar for me. The two Brakeman coats I tried were quite nice but I just could not mesh with the flared cut. Anything...

    Going to Osaka Japan next month. Where to buy leather jackets?

    I did not get to see Y2 on this trip but did check out Double Helix which was nice. I only saw about three models since in Osaka, it is sold out of a storeroom of sorts by a clothing shop Called Organic Blue. I guess he is good friends with the Double Helix guy so has some samples and a few...

    Sugar Cane Indian Motorcycle Jacket

    Monitor, if you're not feeling the vibe and the fit is off you won't wear it. You've already planted the seed so sell it and try to find a larger one.

    Sugar Cane Indian Motorcycle Jacket

    Real nice. I bet the hide is just like my Rainbow Country jacket. Deceivingly heavier than you expected for a Japanese-made jacket. Kind of CXL-like in weight and dense feel but with no pull up effect and with an aniline finish. I would not be surprised if Rainbow Country made that for Sugar...

    How to Imitate a Saddleback Leather bag...

    Their products look nice but I'll echo other's opinions since I used to own quite a few Saddleback pieces. All I kept was a couple of desk pads and their 2nd gen Duffel bag. I do have one of their rifle cases but it only fits small rifles like a small 30-30 lever action or .22 so that is not...

    Fit check Aero Premier Highwayman

    @Carlos840 don't apologize my friend. This is all personal preference and if we all looked the same things would be very boring. I sometimes do yard work and other chores in my jackets and am always moving about so I like a longer sleeve like that. Shorter sleeves don't work on a motorcycle...

    Fit check Aero Premier Highwayman

    That jacket was too tight on me in the chest and pit to pit so not a good reference to use it, besides someone assuming how it fits on someone else, by looking at a picture, is not a good reference point. If a tight and uncomfortable fit in the chest is the reference then use it as one I guess...

    Brand new Vanson IKE old competition weight cowhide

    Nice jacket and price. If it was a 40 I'd consider it. This is the only new Vanson I like. GLWS.

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    I sold this one off not long after posting this. It just never fit right and was too tight in the chest and shoulders and was hard to get on and off.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Thanks. The site calls it a work shirt which is odd. Does not look like a shirt to me so maybe the translation is off.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    @Mandarin that Y2 car coat is amazing. I am hoping to see one in person when we go to Osaka (if I can find one there). Please post up more pics and a review.

    What are your sunglasses of choice?

    I just bought these Vuarnets and will give them a whirl. Normally I am a Persol fanboy.

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    All I know is they taste different. Lol. Elk steaks taste better than deer to me. Elk sausage is darn good too.

    Question for Lost Worlds J-23/J-24 size 46 and 48 owners

    JMax/Hh121, I don't want to hijack Jejupe's thread so I'll PM you. I am guessing it is around a 3 - 3.5oz leather. Around the same weight and thickness as my Langlitz Timberline. It is not any thicker than the Langlitz now that I compare both in front of me. The wool lining on the RC adds a bit...
