    Teacore leather jackets - post yours here!

    How come? Do you not like the Ponyboy? When I saw that jacket online, it was love at first sight. Funny enough, I was considering ordering the Speedster from Barnstormer a few days ago. It looked great on me when I tried it on in their store in Japan. But I just couldn't pull the trigger...

    Teacore leather jackets - post yours here!

    Bautiful jacket. I didn't know pigment-finished jackets could be teacore. Btw, would love to see how your RC Ponyboy is ageing. It's an aniline finish, right? Same as the brown. How would you compare the ageing of your Mccoy and the Ponyboy?

    Teacore leather jackets - post yours here!

    True that. I have a few vintage ones too, but the RC will be my first "new" jacket and I plan to wear it till the end of time. And I need a brown one too :) Then, I'll find happiness.

    Teacore leather jackets - post yours here!

    Surprised this thread doesn't have more replies. I guess no one keeps their jackets long enough to find out. I will receive my RC Ponyboy jacket in full-aniline black teacore next month. I'll send pics one year after that lol.

    Ah fair enough. I've heard that, over time, the poly thread starts sawing away the leather around it. But I'd probably be long dead when that happens ha. I also fear poly because it's hard if not impossible to repair.

    Out of curiosity, how is the construction quality of your Ponyboy? Did you notice any bad stitching etc.? Also, do you know what thread material they use for the stitching? I hope it's not full poly.

    Visited the Flat Head a few weeks ago in Japan. It is, without doubt, the most beautiful Shinki leather I have ever seen. The staff member (forgot his name), was incredibly enthusiastic and spoke proudly about his 12-year-old FH single rider (size 38), he then showed me his 2-year-old FH single...

    Hi, I have settled on the RC Ponyboy. I also just returned from my Japan trip, truly an amazing country! They have one eye in the past and another in the future. I pre-ordered the Ponyboy in 38 a few months ago but wasn't sure of the size so I went to the Barnstormer store in Japan last week...

    I see, so it ages, but slower. Last question: do you have any specific tanneries you'd recommend for chrome-tanned leather?

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    It is my understanding that chrome-tanned doesn't age as beautifully as veg-tanned. Am I wrong? The ageing/patina is probably what I care about the most. Although, I would also love to act like Indiana Jones and beat the hell out of my jacket.

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    What type of leather finishing is the most durable, and water resistant? I have a horsehide jacket coming from Shinki, but it's full-aniline so it's naturally more prone to scratches, stains, rain, etc. compared to other finishes. I got it because of the beautiful ageing potential. For my next...

    Oh wow, u got a Ponyboy as well? I thought Dublinpremium was the only person who owned one. Would you mind telling me more about the top coat? My understanding was that it was an exposed naken hide, since it's aniline finished. (I never understood what aniline meant because if it's translucent...

    Information about aniline leather So I just ordered an RC Ponyboy, which is full-aniline leather I believe. Is there anything I should be aware of? How. vulnerable is it to rain, stains, scratches etc. ?? I did a little research online and now I am scared of how vulnerable it is, almost like...

    Types of leather finishings. RC Ponyboy

    Could someone please explain the different types of leather finishings? And how it affects the ageing and the appearance of the leather. I'm new to the world of leather jackets. Are finishings just a protective layer added to the leather? Or do they serve other purposes too? I purchased the RC...

    Thanks a lot! I'm probably either a size 38 or 40 with the Ponyboy. So they should start taking orders in 1-2 months right? If I visit one of their dealers in Tokyo, what are the chances of me trying one on? Because I don't know if they look good on me. Also, they're not made-to-measure right...

    @Canuck Panda btw you mentioned that you missed the Ponyboy restock. When was that? Worse case, I'll wait for their next restock, if it's not too far away.
