Not sure if the price is good, but this is an interesting longer jacket in a very nice brown horsehide (presuming it's a Rainbow Country but I'm not an expert):

Thanks for the reply! I've been keeping an eye on the classifieds every day and also checking that finds and deals page each day too. Fingers crossed for me haha!
Long shot, but I'd love to find myself a High Notch jacket. What would be the best way to go about this? I can't seem to see any online.
I know above it was mentioned to look online, is there any specific place I should be looking?
Thank for the suggestion. I have looked into Schott but they seem to be longer for the size. Is there an obvious way to know if a Schott jacket is shinki if a listing doesn't specifically mention it?
Thank you for showing me this. I've had my eye on this model before but the back length is a little too long for me.
Can I ask, is this colour what a broken in redbrown/russet goes to? It's absolutely beautiful
Thank you, I've been watching marketplaces for the last couple months and it seems size 38 has most commonly met my sizing but have seen both 36 and 40 fitting too pending brand.
Hi everyone,
Been following Japanese auctions, eBay, local classifieds (I'm in Australia) looking for a used Shinki horsehide single rider style jacket in either brown or black. Of those in my budget, some I have been too slow, others not quite the measurements I'm after. The sort of style I'm...
Had 5* made mine with the measurements I actually gave them, they would be bang on for what I needed. For anyone who was wondering about 5* tolerances, they told me after I complained that they have a tolerance of 20mm in all measurements (still over tolerance in a couple dimensions anyway)...
Yep, I provided them a VERY thorough, very easy to read document and they missed the mark on multiple requests and measurements. They also pulled the old "let's leave the material or measuring tape with slack when measuring so it looks like it's bang on the requirements".
I continually told...
I just really really wanted something specifically made for my dimensions at a price I could afford. Got suckered in. Just like my woodworking hobby, I should have got something higher end "buy once, cry once".
Despite multiple warnings, I went ahead and bought a 5 Star jacket to my measurements and requests. When I received it, I initially thought "this doesn't look too bad". Then I realised arms were 25mm too long, 15mm too skinny in forearm/wrist, arm lining wasn't what I asked for, neck diameter...
