Chinese non-leather Jackets: Denim and other heritage Jackets

[itsme]

Wrangler 24MJZ Jacket reproduction from Ray Kwok. Though sold out of taiwan, its made in Guangzhou china.

Absolute delight. I love everything about it, the cut the fit, the crispness of the stitch lines, all of which are accurately space. 15oz fairly light, great mobility. I am 5'10" and 185lb for reference.

Looks great, what's the price?

Swing and a miss for me on this one. I read the sizes wrong and thought i was getting the large on their chart dims, but by choose 'us L=asian 2xL' i was actually getting the 2xl dims which are way to big. But even if it had been correct on size there are a lot of design factors that would have gotten me to immediately sell it anyways.

I like the blanket lining, and i like that the sleeve lining are cotten instead of nylon. I like that its a unique offering style wise. I dont care for the light 12 oz denim, the lack of contrast stitching, the thinness and roughness of the leather strapping, or the offset collar buttons.

You can cinch it down a lot but it still just looks like a wall of blue to me. I like a more dynamic composition.

I was confused why a Mister Freedom jacket was posted in this thread for a minute but from your mention of Asian sizing I'm guessing this is by another maker?

Sorry, i forgot to mention the maker: Red Tornado, a chinese brand.

Thanks. I had a pair of jeans from them and the denim on those was great, but the fit was weird.

I didn't realise they were also copying contemporary stuff but looking online I can see they're selling a few Freewheelers styles as well.

Red tornado waxed canvas type 3. I've mostly shifted away from type 3's and anything with a straight line across the chest, but this is one of the *only* lined waxed canvas jackets I could find that was 100% cotton kining including the sleeves. I suffer through slick sticky cold slippery nylon sleeve linings only because manufactureres insist on that being the only option on everything. Its a lovely thin jacket for cool rainy fall days.
