Sorry for the lackluster pictures, looked fine on the phone... anyway the jacket is from Double Helix Works and the model is called Frisco :)

I've been eyeing this one since I got rid of my Y2-leather last year, so when I found this one for a great price I took the plunge :D

I'll write a review and post some better pictures over at the DH-thread later, but first impressions are great! and I'm starting understand all the praise Double Helixs gets around here :)

Thanks Jon! It's the black one, but not super clear on the pics lol, I'll try to get a better picture of the leather :)

Another new jacket and another set of ****ty photos haha :D
The jacket itself is just some random mall-jacket(the liner is gone so don't iknow the brand) but I liked the fit, it is real leather(****ty but real haha) and for 20-ish USD it was cheap enough :)

Haha! I can see it now. I guess that’s what I get trying to view everything on my little phone screen with my not so great (any more) vision. Can’t wait to see more pictures and hear your thoughts on the jacket. Cheers, Jon

It's a size 40, it's on the slimmer side(especially the hem) but I think it fits okáy, I like that the p2p is roomier than many Japanese made jackets I've owned before, and the armholes are not crazy high and slim so it wears rather comfy :)

Your old Herc was a great fit on me, so this is very helpful!
Should fit similar to that yes, maybe not as narrow over the shoulders or as high arm holes as the Herc if I remember correctly.
Also I like the shorter body length of the DH, I always thought the Hercules was a tad bit to long in the body for it to be perfect, but that's just nitpicking lol, in the end both are very very nice jackets :)
