The State of the Art in Japanese Outerwear: Freewheelers and Co 2012-13 Collection!

The collar of that Winchester looks like something worn in the opening scenes of a 70's porn movie!:eeek:

You say that like it's a bad thing...

Yes, that jacket is guaranteed to bring out your inner Dirk Diggler.

New pics from Freewheelers of the Dust Bowl. The Auburn hide is incredible. But I'm not sold on the knit collar.

More and better pics here:

This is what I'm currently lusting after. FW Darius sack coat in Deerskin

There is a pic in this month's clutch magazine of one of the FW guy's in a well worn in Darius and it is truly stunning. Beautiful patina.

Yes, it's as if they really knew where they were going until the reached the collar, and then kind of ran out of ideas...

It's like action man dolls when you were a kid. You mixed and matched the outfits. Some worked. Some looked a bit off. Some looked stupid.

The Japan designers seem to work the same way. They have all the pics of vintage jackets, so they know ALL the individual features.

So they continually mix them up. Some work really well. Some look a little odd. And some look sh*t.

The successful guys are the ones who get it right most often

Well, I think the guy in the photo has the right idea. The knit collar is ideal for layering with a hooded sweatshirt underneath.

It would be a sad world, Ish, if we all liked the same thing.

Personally, the last thing I would ever do with a hooded sweatshirt (or indeed, ANY hooded garment) is wear one

Here's one I would wear:

I agree Van. Many of the interesting threads are turning into this. Check out the last few pages of the Himel Brothers thread. They are planning a guys trip to the Aero factory

No. We were chatting on a forum. It's what folks do

Got to work harder on this irony thing...

 

[Sloan1874]

Very difficult to do in print...

 

[Dr H]

Just assume that it's ironic unless it's otherwise indicated...

I really like that one! I would wear the hell out of it!

 

[Ishmael]

Which one? I think I would only wear the top one. There's a shop called Hummingbird's Hill that has all these jackets in a really nice shade of brown too...

Any of them look good in my eyes, but if it was in order of which to have first it would be #3#1#2 a man can dream cant he?
