"that still has traditional looks" is a bit of an overstatement for my taste, but the cemented proprietary sole will definitely make the boot a lot lighter. Talk about a downgrade from a pair of White's though.
No prob. You keep posting these incredible pairs for a great price. Where the hell do you get your hands on these in Taiwan? Please post more 9D sized ones :D
Maybe someone can comment on this topic:
I see some of the Chinese jackets also listed in JP auctions from time to time. Often at lower prices, even considering shipping costs.
Does it make sense to buy them this way? I guess you loose the direct contact with the AliExpress store that is...
Beautiful jacket but this is what kills it for me:
1. Cinches at the bottom instead of half-belt level. I know there are historic example of this but I find this completely bizarre.
2. The sleeve width looks ENORMOUS.
3 . Hookless zipper is not your friend most of the time.
4 . 59cm long...
Perhaps you are correct, but I certainly was not impressed by the LW jacket that I received from JP. But likely that has more to do with the mythical status of LW and my high expectations than what the jacket actually was. It was definitely good quality, but nothing WOW about it at all.
Loved...
I don't agree. If you're selling a jacket for 3k then you're not an "amateur", you should know how to measure. And provide photos of the measurements if the method is in doubt. On the other hand at those prices the jackets most likely don't get worn anyway and just go to some collectors...
Ah yes, the brand from Japan with absolutely incredible footwear and an absolutely awful name.
Always dreamed of a pair of MOTO shoes/boots, finally caught a 2nd pair in JP for a decent price.
Catch and release unfortunately - these don't fit my feet too well.
The size is "2", which translated...
To be honest I'm pricing this rather high because I don't want to sell them haha.
These are nuts.
Absolutely gorgeous leather. Old school CW it seems. Wish my Vanson E jacket was made from this leather...
Thick and beefy yet soft and pliable.
Basically mint condition, no signs of wear...
First dibs to TFL before I throw it you to the ebay/kleinanzeigen/vinted vultures!
Got this strange but gorgeous "R.B.C" half-belt from JP recently. Seems like an Aero 30s half-belt copy more or less.
It was a bit dry and scuffed up here and there, but some conditioner really softened it up and...
The WHY is something I can only speculate on. Most likely batches of jackets ordered by distributors in JP for the local clientele. Whether the lighter hide choice comes from the requester or provider - I have no idea. But this topic has been discussed and confirmed multiple times on TFL in the...
Regarding the recently posted LW ones:
Curb your expectations if you're hoping to get one of the legendary heavyweight LW jackets - the ones from JP tend to have much thinner and lower grade (?) leather. This has been discussed on TFL multiple times but it's still worth mentioning.
