Freewheelers leather jackets

[Rm759]

I was in the Real McCoys store in Tokyo 2 days ago and the J24's were 250000 Yen. ($1650USD)
I couldn't believe the price.
They had one of each size except my size, 42. J100 the same. Freewheels only had 4 jackets. Very nice guy there.
Americaya has a lot of Aero cxl and a few vanson. Schott was loaded with their horse hide jackets.

Mulholland is a very nice jacket with even better marketing/hype. Supply and demand. Personally I think the leather is not that interesting.

The Mulholland is the most uncomfortable jacket I've ever owned, and the zipper disintegrated without any misuse - but I've told this story before so I'll pipe down

I visited three or four RMC stores in Japan, they all full size ranges of each and every model in stock. It certainly didn't look like they were flying off the shelves.

Well all I know is that if I go on their jp website and look in the leather jacket category 38s and 40s are largely sold out for the styles I like. But yes real mccoys is less niche than other brands. Don’t forget that abroad you also typically find a fraction of their full catalogue.

Some brands (also workwear/workwear adjacent) trust me they are barely know outside of Japan and they sell out domestically there very very quickly.

Personally, kind of tired of all these ******** Japanese repro brands… much prefer something like Orslow, old Joe etc.

Hi,
I just received a Mulholland and feel the leather is thinner than my Labrea. Is it made like that or is my Mulholland thinner than the others Mulholland.

I wouldn´t be at all surprised if the leather changes from batch to batch (within reasonable bounds, of course). Weight, thickness, grain-definition - it´s a natural redource after all.

I can´t compare FW to FW, but my Mulholland is not thinner/lighter than other "comparable" hides (RMC, Himel, FieldLeather).
