    Leather thickness and aging potential

    No, you don't sound combative at all. I'm trying to educate myself so I appreciate the straightforwardness. I'm trying to narrow down my list of requirements so I hoped focusing on Shinki would make my search easier. Here's the list: (got it from denim hunters) Veg tanned Full-grain leather...

    Leather thickness and aging potential

    That's great! Sorry if I'm asking too many questions but would you mind naming a few other brands that offer Perfectos in Shinki tea-core pls? Are almost all Japanese jackets made from tea-core leather? All I want is a jacket that ages beautifully, and didn't expect all this complication ahah...

    Damn. Can't believe there's no Perfecto jacket in Shinki tea-core.

    I was gullible enough to add it to my cart hahaha.

    Leather thickness and aging potential

    You're right, I didn't want to admit it and accepted tea-core because it was "highly sought after" Are there any other FC jackets without their signature fast-fading tea-core? Now I'm unsure whether to buy the Leon anymore. I might just book a ticket to Japan at this point and get it over...

    Leather thickness and aging potential

    Wow, you really know your stuff. Thanks for the explanation. I still have mixed feelings about the way the old tea-core fades in the FC jackets (a little too brown and too fast? They're supposed to last me decades so maybe it's better if they fade slower?) I'm new to all this. If I'm...

    Hahaha, my bad. Please pretend you never saw that. I got real confused there. I meant wearing it with suit trousers and didn't want to look too heritage.

    Leather thickness and aging potential

    Thanks for your lengthy response man. I agree with your advice on looking harder since it's a big investment. Perhaps I should slow down a little. The thing is I checked out many Western brand designs and they seem too classic for my taste. The Leon custom is like a classic double rider but with...

    This is crucial information. Thanks a lot. At this point, the 1.3mm seems reasonable. But of course, I'll still need to try it on in person :)

    Thanks for the advice! Would you say 1.5mm is okay for an everyday jacket?

    Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out. Just to clarify, 1.8mm isn't too thick in your opinion? (This is my first proper leather jacket btw.)

    N Amazing way to put it. What would you consider thick? 1.5mm? Or above ~1.8?

    Leather thickness and aging potential

    Hey guys, I'm planning on buying the Leon custom jacket from Fine Creek. They offer the 1.3mm, 1,5mm, and the classic 1.8mm (out of stock), but I'm not sure which one to take. I need a timeless jacket that I can wear as much as possible all year round so it mustn't be too thick. At the same...
