I stand corrected. The seller is Alaska outfitters. If you search in ebay store for "Alaska Outfitters Ray Kwok" you will see link for purchasing their Buco j100 replica. However, they use to have links for their other designs in black Maryam leather that I cannot find anymore. Perhaps other FTL members will know.

I think Alaska outfitter is on here as @eyewildshot . DM him, he's a good dude.

I wish places like crush on retro would identify the maker/factory if it was a consistent known quantity. Got this switchyard and its a nice coat, but I might not have bought it if i could find a jiashi rendition of it. Veloukldly has some small qc things that werent a problem for me 3 years ago when i could get them for 150$, but now that tariffs have made everything cheaper by a 2 fold increase in price, 340$ would have me seeking better where I can get it.

The photos show a zigzag stitch runnning off course on an open leather (word for a posterior, since the system censored it like a vugar term) seam (which may be how the freewheelers origional design intended it, but certainly the origional had straight stitching). Another shows a stitch ending and being restarted in the middle of the lapel. Again, I like the jacket, but jia shi tends to do better.

To wit: my beloved 4xl jiashi brakeman. I wish i had gotten an xl in the switchyard instead of 4xl. The brakeman looks good as an overcoat, the switchyard less so, it would have looked better fitted.

The brakeman is pretty much flawless and worth every penny of the 225$ i paid for it a 2 years ago.
