Rarely can I say this but save some money and get the Ventura from Good Wear LOL

I think it's a beautiful jacket! And yet I think it looks a bit, whispering, "boring", to my eyes. I'm sorry for being so bland. Don't get me wrong, it's nice. To me it's just missing the "wow-effect" that some of Himel's jackets have on me.A few weeks ago, I made a New Years resolution to buy fewer jackets this year. Yeah, right!
Allow me to introduce my next jacket . . . . the Himel Frobisher (I'm in love):

But it's a great, simple jacket no doubt, just not that special.
It reminds me of the RMC and BK civilian models and doesn't scream Himel. But maybe this is what makes it cool again.
Please don't hate me!
Same here, just the other way round. I love those simple models on other people! However, I find my BK very boring on me, especially in the russet. I think it's a beautiful jacket and color, just not for me, I guess.No hate buddy. I completely agree that it is a simple, conservative design. Thats exactly what I love about it. Funny you mention the RMC civilian designs -- I love those jackets for the same reason. Your J106 is infinitely more dynamic and interesting. That said, while I appreciate J106s on other people, they are not for me.
Specifically, will you buy whatever your favourite brand releases, or is it design and build quality that enthuses you?
Individual piece oriented, here - but isn't build quality what the brand ensures, anyway?
Not quite sure what you're implying here Vinny.
Himel's designs have been knocked off in the past by other makers, and admitted to.
SJC has been working on his Grizzly since at least Feb2, 2015. SJC did NOT copy Himel Bros.
It IS quite a coincidence that Himel's new Grizzly looks the same as Simon's, but did Himel "copy" Simon. I don't imagine that to be Dave's policy.
I think this one can be chocked up to zeitgeist. Although Quite the coincidence.
