    The best thing about Big Twin Boss jacket is that YKK zippers are used whereas Yah-Ta Hey uses Talon zippers. YKK zippers are far better and rugged than Talon zippers.

    My size is 42. I’ll take photos of the Yah-Ta Hey motorcycle jacket and the bulky leather coat when I return to Tokyo. The coat is called ‘Chicago ‘. Scarecrow shop owner Narusawa named it so that it sounds like something from the United States.

    . I’m a native Japanese living in Tokyo. Yah-Ta Hey jackets are not made by Langlitz. I own one myself. I bought it from Scarecrow Company about 20 years ago, though I never wore it. Its just too heavy. I also own a Yah-Ta Hey made coat which resembles the Langlitz Red Dog half length...
