Hi all
Are prices of brand new Japanese brands leather jackets cheaper at the physical stores in Japan?
In particularly, Y'2 and Double Helix Works Type 1 and Type 2 Horsehide jackets.
If so, where can they be purchased in person around Tokyo?
Thanks!

Hi all
I am interested in the Double Helix Type 1 indigo horse jacket but I would like to see what it might look like once it's broken in in particular with the white core showing.

Hi all
I think I can see the drop off as if I am slashing down the initial tame slope of a gnarly black double diamond run.
As I slow down a little bit to survey the terrain and pick my line, my adrenaline is pumping, my serotonin is flooding and I find myself at the juncture where I can...
Hi all
Instead of using the official Schott BLTV belt that goes with the 568 jacket, are there similar steerhide belts from other makers that are available to be used for the jacket?

If I wear size 8D RW blacksmith or iron ranger, what size is recommended for...
Hi all,
I seem to have an anatomical challenge as my torso is rather short so most off the rack jackets fall around my hip. As a result, the bottom hem feels pretty tight.
If I upside to accommodate my hip, then the rest of the jacket would be too long and too loose.
Attached are photos of...
Hi all,
New member here.
I am on a quest for a moto riding jacket and I have been reading and learning and trying different jackets lately.
I have narrowed down to Schott Perfecto (613 or 618) or Vanson (C2 or Continental Chopper).
I have tried on the following jackets and here are my...
