That jacket with the armpit fading is the one of the biggest reasons I would be very weary about buying a Himel.
wow that looked amazing! is it the flat head jacket? did the leather stretch at all?I've got one of their Cafe Racers from a few years ago that I love. I got it from a member here that had a horrid main zipper replacement, but it actually doesn't bother me at all with the jacket worn in a little. The half-belt back action back on this one is a work of art!

Isn't this a reproduction of something? The jacket looks the way it's supposed to look and fits the way it's supposed to fit. And it fits the gentleman in the first photo just right on the money. I wish I could find that thread with the photos of the auto show from the... 40's? 50's, I think it was? Anyway, every male at the show must have been wearing their little sisters jackets as they wore 'em even smaller than the models on these photos above.
I don't really care for the harsh contrast stitching on this jacket. It doesn't seem to jive all that well. Other than that I think it looks good but not quite unique enough to shake me away from other similar styles/established patterns of like design.
Waay too short. Needs to be 2" longer to at least cover the belt. A pet peeve of mine.
