@dinhnguyen57 thanks for posting the Y'2 Indigo - that particular example seems like it must have seen a lot of sun. I really like the look of it pre-fade and I must say that I'm not finding this example to be my favourite. It looks like the owner didn't really take care of it.

I was really really eager, waiting for a good deal and the right size to ****** up one too. There are so many black and brown jackets out there that the indigo from Y'2 would be a nice change, but the way that jacket faded, makes me wonder. if sooner or later all the Y'2 indigo jackets will fade like that. It's not just fading at the creases and pressure point but kinda all over.

I wonder what the indigo from Double Helix will fair.

There’s a reason most leather jackets are black or brown…

Seems like there's two listings up for the same jacket from different sellers., with similar, but slightly different prices.

****?

corduroy-lined taubers cross-zip, tagged 44 but chest measures in around 48". I would buy this if it were a smidge longer, despite the high price

Here's an oddball -

E Weiden Melbourne on Vinted.

No tags, seller guesses it's a M, but cool pattern! There's something sort of Peter's-esque about that front placket.

That's because neither one actually owns the jacket. It's located in Japan, and these are middlemen that will act as a proxy. You can find the original listing on Mercari (Buyee) for about 2/3 the price.

Size 38 Rainbow Country deerskin car coat:

RAINBOW COUNTRY レインボーカントリー カーコー... - Yahoo!オークション

2014年に新品購入後、室内試着のみ未使用です。 「革のカシミア」とも称されるディアスキン(鹿革)のカーコートです。このディアスキンは、肉厚でありながら柔らかく、着込むほどにタンニンなめし特有の光沢を帯び、妖しく黒光りするようになると思います。裏地はメルト

auctions.yahoo.co.jp

Current bid is 40k yen (~$260), plus there's an active 10% coupon on FromJapan.
Too small for me, but it caught my eye since RC rarely uses deerskin. Seller claims the jacket is from 2013-14 in good condition.

I had made to measure (bespoke) leather trousers made by TT leathers around 1986. I was having a go at production motorcycle racing at the time. Single guy OBVIOUSLY !
Made with the pre-bent racing crouch and went inside boots.
Quality kit that could meet pre race scrutineering.
I still have them now. 40+ years on.
Made to measure for some skinny Guinea haha...
Waist would be 6 inches shy of closing.
My wife said many years ago
"You should sell those now".
I said "they'll fit me again".
After lapband surgery perhaps haha.
From memory they were made in the Isle of Man.

I would pay good money to see a fit pic
