Hi, is your LW Goatskin still avail? I'm open to an outright purchase or trade. I'm not sure if you're looking for a highwayman, but I've got a black Aero Highwayman (fits like 42-44). Very good condition, hardly worn.
How is the quality of the wool liner? Is it thick or thin? Scratchy? Does it make the jacket too warm to be worn year round? Would you prefer cotton liner? Thanks for any info!!!
@jr30 This jacket looks great on you. I may get one myself (in a different color).
Visually, the fit looks very nice. How does it FEEL? Is it tiring to wear for an extended time? Can you move and bend reasonably? Have you driven a car with it on? Thanks!
To me, the fit looks really good on you. Better than your Hugging Curve. How do the armholes feel though. Tight? I've been eyeing this jacket as well.
How's the quality of the collar?
I've been so close to buying the jacket over the past year or two. It's interesting that the "A" cut/silhouette of your black jacket is more noticeable than on the indigo version.

It must be the same...
Both versions of the blue leather have a white core. They both have a very Japanese "bouncy" feeling. I say "Japanese" because I've often heard this description by Tokyo store owners when describing high quality leather. The turquoise swatch I have is thicker and seems like it will be harder...
Wow, this is the review I've been waiting for. I can't believe I just found this now-- this is what happens when I get too busy for FL. Thanks for posting.
Oh yeah-- How functional are the hand warmer pockets? Are they placed on the jacket where you can easily slip your hands in without...
I guess we're seeing different things. Or at least focusing on different things.
What point does this prove again (not being snide)? The jackets with the smaller drops look like jackets with smaller drops... because they have smaller drops. Okay, maybe I'm being a little snide, heh heh...
Japanese style "Fit" -- narrow shoulders, chest, sleeves may soon be a thing of the past. Look at the current generation of East Asian men under 40. They are bigger. Average height and weight is way up. Nutrition has not been an issue for these guys. Shohei Ohtani anyone? Another of my...
Well said-- the neck pressure starts slow, but ends with vigor. Also, super heavy CXL horse is not the best choice for a comfortable fit. Stick with veg tanned.
Yes! Their customer service is very good so far. And international shipping seems to be included in price. Not an issue if you're in Japan already... But I wish I could try it on first as well. The 44 seems to be on the borderline of too small-- it measures about 22.5 pit to pit. I'd...
