Thanks. Could you further elaborate the difference you observed? For example, are they more pliable? And about the shine?
Speaking of Mobster, I happen to have a current version (2018) Joe Mccoy's Mobster. I like the hide and the boxy cut compared to other Japanese jacket makers. See photo...
I see. Speaking of Harley repro line of RM, have you handled any piece before and if yes, what is your experience? I see there are quite some jackets with good condition and price in those Japanese shopping site.
Ok guys since this thread has been resurrected and been talking about the Wild One jacket, just would like to mention that Toys Mccoy has going to reproduce this jacket in their coming spring/summer collections. Photos attached.
Many thanks for the information Blackadder! I had this question because I only see steerhide version original pieces, but in this link, https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/c849502798, (although the item is capped as J-27 but it does look like a J-82 to me) RM used horsehide for this...

Hi Robbie, first of all, no offense. but I am also curious that if you don't understand why people buy FW jacket, why would you still like to pursuit a "Mulholland clone"?
And I would like to add for Freewheelers, the characters of their shinki leather finish, even for the same name, seem to vary in different time period. I have two FW jackets, both made from their "Black Jack" leathers. The one from 2017 is still quite stiff even with more wears, compared to 2019...
Many thanks!
Speaking of Thedi’s horsehide, I noticed that on their new website there are two kinds of horsehides mentioned in different jackets. One is called hand-dyed veg-tanned Italian horsehide leather, another is called aniline-dyed ranger Italian horsehide leather. Do you perhaps know the...
I see, thanks! So I was mainly referring the creasing. I really like the creasing effect, see photos attached (copyright to fellow member @Milesdeathescape ). Does the level of creasing more related to the leather type (if deerskin is generally softer than horsehide, so less creasing?) or as you...
