All design queues are from Japanese leather jacket makers - hence the name. I think Greg did a fantastic job - design wise. I had way too many requests and he accommodated all of those except for one - and that was due to miscommunication (not his fault). I wanted to have the sleeve with those metal studs and the slanted stitching right above the studs. Now Greg asked me whether I want a 3-part or 2-part sleeve. I said I want a 2-part sleeve because the the small piece of leather (underarm) looks hideous to me. But I wanted that 3rd part at the cuff region like the togs leather jacket D pocket. I didn’t make it clear to him, when I answered his question. So now I have the studs (it took him nearly 5 months to source it) at the sleeve but not the slanted stitching at the cuff region.
Apart from that,I think the design was really good.
This is a teacore shinki. My request was smoothest and shiniest leather possible. Shoulder is 17.5 and back length is 23.5 inches. This is definitely a size 38 jacket. Greg - perhaps erroneously has put a size 40 tag.
P2P is 20.5 inches and hemline is 18. I have a feeling that a 4 inch drop (18.5 inches) instead of 5 inch drop (18 inches) would have been better. What do you guys think? Is it a bit too tight?
Backside is designed really well but one complain I have is the leather in the shoulder region does not sit smoothly. I mean when you move - it creates bulge. Is it because the leather is brand new and will settle down in time?
Overall- I think Greg did a fantastic job and he is a top bloke. Highly recommended.
