How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

Awesome cossack, what is it and who made it?

Can you please share the measurements in this 42 size one. I have it in 44 and mine is the big size for a 44 size.

Wait. Did that just arrive? New? Did you just put those sleeve creases in?

Yes, yes, and yes. It’s that’s supple, soft, and drapey.

How is the leather in this brown one?

Quite nice!

That’s good for a fairly thick hide!

How does it feel wearing an unlined leather jacket? Especially with just a tshirt?

Henley T-shirt and thin chambray popover. Both feel the same, very comfy. The leather is probably more supple than any other I own, minus my Indy jackets in lamb. But it’s not far off those either.

That’s it. I’m ordering one this evening!

I’ve got a Flat Head Type 2 from Ebay on the way which will be waiting for me after I return from Japan! I just tried it on in Tokyo yesterday and managed to score (what looks like an unused) one for a fraction of the price!

An Aero Bootlegger and a Grais MC are on the way!

I've been eyeing up Y'2 (or any) type 1 leather jackets for a few years now. I tried on a Fine Creek model which fit far too slim. I then tried on the Y'2 kakishibu in my size which fit perfectly, and although the sleeves are very slightly too long I think this should resolve itself as the jacket breaks in and the arms stack.

I ended up ordering a vintage horse Y'2 from Ebay in the same size which has slightly shorter sleeves, so in theory should fit perfectly. I then found the kakishibu version, so I of course ordered that too.

I've been wanting a fairly simple brown and black leather jacket to wear and wear. I love the fit of the type 1.

Decided to also give a test run to this one, from @vilexile

Nice jacket. It will be interesting to see the jacket in action.

I know, me too! Looks like it might have been over-conditioned due to the white marks on it in some places, but the seller accepts returns so I went for it. Will post more when it arrives.

I restored an identical one but can’t get the old smell out of it unfortunately. Great jacket! No zipper needed replaced.

What is that jacket?

 

[tmitchell59]

I posted a similar size 42 in the Finds section, less money but too small for me. Said I would have bought it in my size. then it showed up. Fine Creek Richmond in their biggest size, 46. Like new. worth a look

 

[tmitchell59]

then this one show up. I found it in my 1931 Shanhouse catalog. Remarkable to find one this nice.
