Some jackets are broken in when you don't have to fight the leather when wearing them. Doesn't mean that they need patina, creases,etc to be broken in.
As you mention it's all about the feel/fit when wearing it, the leather is moulded to you.
I understand but I just feel that sometimes the hobby can turn into hoarding/addiction and people get hung up on the dopamine feeling that purchasing something new gives us(Me included)
Hey, if that doesn’t put any strain on the bank account be my guest! :p
But if he’s tempted then might...
Trying to be the sensible one here.
How many jackets do you currently own? How many do you actually wear?

I'm so bummed about me choosing the wrong size for my intrepid. They sized quite small for such a reversible jacket. So I can't really wear it. I should have gone with the 40 instead of 38.

It's a nightmare. I'm currently waiting on the delivery guy from Fedex for my LW because I missed it yesterday.
He was kind enough to call in advance to tell me the amount of cash I needed to pay for customs. The regular courier company Correos never does that, they come to your door they tell...
I use it daily and I have never seen any add for Japanese leather jackets.
I also don’t follow any store other than Clutch Café in London. I do follow Freewheelers and a few Japanese guys that wear the obscure styles that one can’t find.
Also, I don’t follow “influencers” who get paid to...
What marketing? I have never seen any publicity by them… it's the resellers that may hype things up.
In fact they do very short runs of stuff, they don't make it possible to buy from outside of Japan and the European/North American stores hike up prices to the moon.
The only place where you...
