Just chiming in to say I love this jacket. I have one and it’s SUPER comfortable. the leather is the only one that my wife goes out of her way to touch and feel.

Apparently I agree that this jacket could be a bit shorter. I tend to carry my weight in my lower half and found the jacket riding up on my hips after some movement. On a whim I tried folding the bottom and found it more comfortable and like the jacket settled back in place easier. So I hemmed...

Sure. Let me know if you’re looking for anything in particular.

i can post some pictures when I make a liner. I’m not 100% convinced it will be an improvement, but a fun exercise regardless as I have not made one before. Agreed on the back of the collar feeling a little stiff. If I could make one change to the pattern it would be to remove 1/4 - 1/2 inch...

I like it quite a bit. The leather is a really nice midweight (compared to a 613sh) that’s immediately wearable and enjoyable. Many of you probably know what to expect from a Shinki jacket but this is my first exposure to their leather. For reference I’m 5’8”, 185 lbs, 40” chest and 34” waist...

I grabbed one of these pretty quickly when I saw the email. It checked almost all of my boxes. The only feature I would change is angling the chest pocket like my 613sh. For anyone wondering, the sleeves and body (underneath the removable liner) are lined with a more slippery nylon. The...
