Kind of interested in this Branded Garments leather shirt, but I'm not sure if I could pull it off. Zenmarket automatically translates things, so I did chuckle at this odd translation: "The making is not a delicate one made in Japan but a rough one made in the United States, so it may not...- Kubatu

I used zenmarket, some other people here use buyee.jp. The process for me was very simple. I put money into the account via paypal, then bought an item that had a buyout / BIN option. It shipped from the seller to the proxy warehouse, then after a short wait, shipped to my address. The shipping...- Kubatu

Are you looking specifically for that style of jacket, or just an older Bates? There's a local seller I've been conversing with to buy a Bates two piece set. Size 40 jacket and 30x29(?) pants. I can't find any equivalent pictures of the jacket online right now, but it's like a scoop neck racing...- Kubatu

Johnson Leather Jacket
You can find them on amazon, but in case you find the 13MWZ too baggy or wide, you might also look into is their 936 fit. It's the same construction and higher rise, however, the thigh and seat are much more slim. I couldn't find them on Amazon, last time I checked. The slim thighs didn't work...- Kubatu

Johnson Leather Jacket
Left Field NYC is at the top of my list next time I actually need another pair. For those who want a high rise, straight leg pair of raw denim, don't sleep on Wrangler's classic 13MWZ rigid jeans. The pattern they use is practically the same as when it was created in the 1950s. A lot of people...- Kubatu

Caution on this one - there's cracking on the leather and some other wear not shown. I'll upload pics in a second. JMax gave me the heads up on this one in October since I had been looking for a Cal. I asked for more pictures, and the images included this: There's a cracking circle mark on...- Kubatu

If you have not already, I would highly recommend looking on proxy auction sites in Japan. The process is really quite simple, and more importantly, they tend to have smaller sizes from jacket makers that aren't found commonly in the US, at pretty steep discounts. It's also worth noting that the...- Kubatu

Yeah, I'm definitely keeping it in mind. My current CR is an older Fidelity. Solid jacket, but a Vanson with the nice CW hide is an upgrade in my book. I've told myself I won't buy any other jackets until the police jacket that was shipped on the 10th gets in though. So if it sells before I make...- Kubatu

Nice looking Vanson CR on Poshmark. Listed for $250, but the seller just sent out an offer for $220 and free shipping. Size 36, but I see the seller provided measurements of a 20" inch chest and shoulder-to-shoulder of 18", which seems like it would work for a 38 too. Although it does look to...- Kubatu

Experience with “Noble House”
Looking through past forum threads on this company, they seem to have a bad reputation for returns. Straight up ignoring return request (which has also been your experience, it seems) and then refusing to issue refunds. Two threads that show this most clearly...- Kubatu

How's the gray leather look in-person? I like the design and I'm sure its a quality jacket, but I'm not sure how good the color would work. Normally I've seen these just with black leather.- Kubatu

https://zenmarket.jp/en/auction.aspx?itemCode=s789147542 Lost Worlds HH jacket, size 38, starting at $190 and ending in 15 hours. Looks to be in pretty good condition.

Yeah, I think the jackets were that model, except they had black buttons on the collar, not the brass / gold. Looks very nice. This is one of the ones I looked at. Unfortunately, the lining is probably a dealbreaker. I live in the southern part of the US and furry liners tend to make jackets too...- Kubatu

What about Echtes Leder? Isn't that a really good European brand? ;) Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll start looking around! It's a bit annoying navigating ebay.de since I don't know where a lot of stuff is, but I'm getting more used to it. I've found a couple of neat Harro jackets, but they...- Kubatu

If you ever come across some of the nicer heavy European jackets in a US size 38, I'd be interested in taking a look. No need to search just on my account, though, since I'm not sure how serious I am about buying of them yet. I liked the blue Harro you listed awhile back, but it was a bit too big.- Kubatu

My rule of thumb for American jackets, if it has numerical sizing that is low (8, 10, 12, etc, not 38, 40, and so on), or the chest zipper zips to the right and not the left, it is almost certainly a women's jacket. For instance, I believe these two Brooks jackets are a men's and a women's...- Kubatu
