Hey everyone. First post, longtime lurker.

Just picked up this J24 in the new RMC cut. Fits a little big but love it. Got my eyes peeled for an old cut to have for a t shirt fit

That looks great. What’s the drape like with the bullhide - is it stiff?

Thank you.

Is it stiff? Yeah, relatively. It can still stand on its own, and when I have it on I’m on my best behaviour - back straight, no slouching, hands to myself.

All kidding aside, I rather enjoy it, like having a great steak for a meal. The jacket’s cut with drape across the chest and upper back, and together with the high armholes and tapered sleeves, I have full range of motion.

I hope it fits well cause it truly is beautiful. To the point I would be afraid to wear it. I wouldn’t want to take away from those tones and contrasts.
I tried it on fits perfect well in my opinion being that it’s made to order with my measurements Jl has just about nailed it every time i just throw these things on cause they deserve to be worn I’m sure it will look super cool after a few wears

Oh I agree. I’ve gotten to the point I’ve traded away or sold almost my entire collection because I just didn’t wear them enough. The few I have left I even put some badges and pins on. It’s my jacket. I don’t plan on leaving it to anyone. And if I do, it’s because it’s survived that long and it brings them comfort. Doesn’t need to be pretty. That’s just super nice. JL nailed it.

Just landed in Tokyo. I am at a hotel right beside Narita for the night, and tomorrow will transfer to Ueno.

I arrived from Malaysia with a number of jackets already and will spend the next four days educating myself on high end leather jackets (and some denim as well). I have a small budget for the right purchase but if I don't get anything at all, I won't be disappointed. This trip is more about learning.

Finally after six months in SE Asia, I am back in jacket weather. Yes!!

Here is a shot of my Vietnam-era G-1 alongside a Polo corderoi jacket and a Schott AT101. I acquired all of these in SE Asia.

But the one I love the most is this old Yamaha biker jacket. This thing is really freaking cool - purchased in Malaysia. I'll be wearing various combos of these jackets on my Tokyo adventure.

I was told that the town by Narita is really lovely, nice restaurants, etc. Enjoy, I am envious as hell.
