what did it cost you?
what did it cost you?
I've actually just been thinking of sending a photo of the first jacket posted (navy and burgundy) and asking if Aero can make something like that up in a two-tone j106. They do both navy and red leather. Wouldn't cost me as much.
And here are the samples I have from them
If anybody needs help contacting them, let me know
i recommend calling and then emailing. they’re super nice but my guess is that not everyone that gets the emails communicates in english.I asked for samples. No reply.

Edit: Forgot to mention flash and non flash photos, and in case you noticed no red leather sample here...

sweating it a little with my cobalt blue choice. dulls with wear is what i tell myself in the ‘what have i done’ moments!
I just don't (or didn't then) have the confidence I thought I did.

Confidence and be worked on
Do you guys know if they are true to size. I am usually a 42 with RMC and a 40 with US/UK. I bought a 42 freewheelers once and could not wear it due to pit to pit being around 20.
I am wondering if I should order a 42 or go with 44
Brave move! I wish you well if you decide to stick with it. Years ago I had a café racer in a similar blue, which I adored. But I felt incredibly self conscious whenever I wore it!

How long does the prices take with Tenjin? When would you see the jacket?
Were you able to speak English or was it mainly through written communication?
That's a very nice choice, very curious to see how it comes out! Did you get the D pocket?
A similar shade of blue is on my to buy list
I had a cheap electric/cobalt blue jacket a few years ago that had been custom made in Shanghai and it worked well. Only reason I don't have it any more is because the leather ripped, it was too thin.
Actually been eyeing for quite some time a Lewis Leathers lightning in this colour

when i called they did speak english, enough that i could have a 5 minute conversation but i feel like it was probably a little random based on who picked up the phone. most of the communication was by email though, but i had an unanswered email and i felt like calling really got the ball rolling.
actually getting the jt01 (the new pattern has no chest pocket). i’ve realized i like mandarin collars, although i have in the back my head a green, natural or burgundy jw03 if i love the first one (even though i don’t like cross zips and normal collars something really appeals to me about that jacket).
You need to pull the trigger on midnightblue CXL FQHH. I think you'd love it man. It's got grey, blue and green all balled up into something a camera can't handle.This is my perfect blue:
