Really nice single rider from Flat Head. Condition is A+ imo only real flaw I can find is some age patina on the side buckles. I thought it was cool so I didn't polish it off. Another potential victim of my closet downsizing.

Here is the link obv I would give yall a better price.

Thanks very much cbez for the sale and your good nature. The item was packaged well plus it shipped and arrived quickly to Canada with no hassle and I won the duty lottery having to pay $0. A rare occurrence in Canada, but it does sometimes happen. Also the price could not be beat. This jacket is even nicer in person. The Shinki is gorgeous and the stitching is really clean compared to my Himel but not quite as nice as freewheelers perhaps. Or at least not as dense. But it feels very American in some sense with the silk adjacent liner which is supremely soft and shiny, the rugged buckles and the leather sheen/grain that is oh-so-appetizing. Call me crazy but it is perhaps less self conscious than some of my other jackets and feels as though it was born directly from the American Dream as opposed to being reimagined like some other repros do. I feel I should buy (or steal) an old Chevrolet convertible and head back down South with a pack of Marlboros and a 24 of Bud to explore my roots in this thing. Btw it definitely looks a tad brown in certain lights but jet black in others. Here are a few fit pics. It's not unreasonable to think that this jacket does not fit me well and that it's sort of a shrunken down version of what it should be on me. And yet it's one of the most comfortable, form fitting jackets I own. Personally I really like the fit even though I know it's short in the sleeves and the half belt rides up my back perhaps much higher than the pattern intended to (I'm 6ft 3 with a 37.5 inch chest). Due to my shape I'm almost always making sacrifices in fit and I'm pretty sure a bigger size would subjectively look worse in certain ways. In any case I think the fit is at least fun, if not slightly comical and it harkens to a kind of spirit that I think is sometimes missing in my life. Thanks for reading this unsolicited review and feel free to let me know what you think of the fit. Cheers Loungers.

Thanks very much guys. My shoulders and chest have gotten bigger and so I am forced to part ways with this beauty.

If anyone wants it $675USD plus shipping from Canada. What I paid plus shipping. Note the jacket has put on some wear as I do wear it regularly. It's listed on Grailed for $1000USD plus shipping. I will look at buying a size or two bigger so will entertain trades for 38/40. In fact trades welcome in general. (I may make a new post if I have trouble moving it.)

Cheers!
