No I would say that if you're wearing a cross belt that you should not get that jacket due to the fact of where the horsehide is located. It's not on the shoulders so would wear down quite quickly. It would be like a regular shearling jacket so if you were going for the horsehide durability you would not get it in the way that you use the jacket. If you think that shearling is tough enough and just want it for the looks then sure.

I have a Y2 indigo leather jacket, superbly made, great fit and outstanding quality.
Yes, I figured it out after I wrote the message here! Thank you so much for confirming my guesses!! Thats why I dont like Japanese, Korean etc companies - their websites look very strange to me. Y'2 dies not write that the hh is used in trimmings only. I accidentally noticed in another jacket it was written mouton+hh and at the very bottom: "hh on wrists and bottom". As for anj-4, there this remark is absent. It just says "mouton + hh"((((

My 1st Y2 jacket was a roll of the dice and worked out. I ordered a 42 Permisson dyed type 1 which is on the trim side for me but I like a snug jacket. The Shop Vancouver is where I ordered from. TJ the owner was very accommodating and sent me both a 42 and 44 so I would be 100% happy with the fit. Huge shout out to TJ and the shop Vancouver for excellent customer service. Nice jacket, cool leather, solid quality. I would say my flat head and fine creek jackets are made a little better but not by much. Only pic I have right now. Super pumped to see how this thing looks 12 months from now.
Looks gorgeous! Have you just bought it or did you buy it 12 months ago? Is it a photo of now or of back then?

the jacket is brand new in that picture. I have owned it for about 1 month or so now.
Is it HH?
If you are sending a message directly then a few days. When I was ordering my jacket directly was up to 5 working days for email replies and that was me writing in Japanese (friends who are Japanese wrote for me)
Oh God! Too bad for custom made orders....what do you mean directly? Is there a way to do it indirectly? Or maybe someone knows where to buy them I mean the dealers? I checked the list on their website but there is not much and I need help with sizing..
By directly I mean I sent them email, also had to call a few times to get ahold of them to check email. They mostly don't interact with customers because a lot of what they do is sell at big stores in Japan. They are super good at answering questions when you are at the store and the store calls up y2 leather.
That's how I got phone number don't remember what it was though.
If there is a dealer in Russia then go through them. It will be much faster and simpler because they already have contacts otherwise going to be a long wait time
I am looking to get this exact jacket. How do you think it compares to the fine creek richmond type I? I guess fine creek doesn't really offer readily this natural color in their jackets. I like the y2 because of the practicality and inner pockets, the fine creek seems very sparse from that front. How are you liking the jacket now and any update pics?

I am a big fan of this Y2 jacket. It has softened up and molded to me after only about 10 outings or so. I have a Black fine creek type 3 which is way softer and In my opinion has nicer looking leather. that’s likely due to the fact I have worn the fine creek 200+ times.
I have only seen the fine creek natural type 1 in pictures. It looks amazing and is the reason I purchased this Y2 natural type 1. The inside pockets are extremely handy on the Y2. I wish my fine creek had an inside pocket. It just adds so much convenience and functionality. Here’s a more recent pic of the Y2 and an older pic of my FC Just for the hell of it.

Both are amazing jackets. I am going to pull the trigger on the exact y2 jacket you got. Any advice on sizing? I am a size 38 in several fine creek jackets, so I am thinking about going size 38 here. I usually am a size 36 US suit jacket size, but I hear sizing up one for the japanese jackets is something that should be done.
Don't want to risk the jacket being too small, and actually every place is sold out of size 36, so I don't really have much options. But wanted to get confirmation if going the same size as Fine creek makes sense to you.
I am also on the waiting list for a fine creek type 1 jacket the richard, with the pocket flap over the chest pocket. I don't get why fine creek doesn't have any pockets inside, that is one thing that would seem a bit easy to implement
Anyways, awesome jacket again and they fit you great
