That's going to be a beast!
That's a tough call, I've been liking those subtle western single point yokes lately but on my upcoming one I went with none. My advice, go to the store, I'm sure they have a ton of examples and the right one will jump out at you.
Btw, I totally left it up to JL to choose my hide, lol. I think it got somewhat broken in as well having to be skived, then had the jacket made, he walked me through the steps of it all since it created allot of crinkling so I think it accelerated the character showing.
So weird, I just kept...
Lol, I dunno, that brown cxl of yours looks like cordovan.
I was taken aback by it at first, I was expecting the matte finish, but it instantly grew on me, reminded me of the way shinki looks. And the smell, uggghhh.
Yeah mines definitely looks different from alot of the other examples they got. Mine definitely has a shine to it and has a... oily feel to it? Vs. a matte finish.
And they make a ton of bike gear, I think alot of their bread and butter is making and repairing bike jackets, they even stock...
Ah man, glad you approve. Yeah I liked it the more and more I looked at it, it just has a special quality to it, in going to do a long and deliberate break in, so may be years before it develops anything with noting, I tend to wear my clothes a long time.
Lol, nice jacket man! Yeah I was just there on Saturday with my bro to check out my jacket. My bro always wanted a repro of the Dean Winchester from Supernatural car coat, so I surprised him with it at JL. I doubt anyone here would be interested in it, just a thigh length, very loose fitting car...
Thanks, I actually changed it out for another blue Hawaiian lining while I was getting some alterations done, and it's black but my phone for some reason shows it as brown.
If all goes to plan I should be picking it up this Saturday.
Awesome man! I definitely saw your jacket while I was there for my fitting because I remember that Japanese quilt liner. It's a great looking jacket.
So glad the "German stuff" finally has a name, no joke guys this stuff is seriously awesome, perfect for an everyday jacket.
Love the liner...
Nice, I've always been a fan of field jackets and such, love the buttons and zipper arrangement, all my work and casual jackets have this setup since it's just so versatile. Nice find!
Oh no you didn't! I totally forgot you ordered another jacket using the "German stuff". Geez that looks good, spot on fit, and I bet it's super comfortable compared to the CXL.
I really haven't either until I fell down this rabbit hole. It's definitely something special in that there's no mistaking it with a mall jacket. Its sti but has loads of character and breaks in nicely eventually. It's really similar to a nice raw denim vs the ubiquitous $20 pair of jeans. Both...
Yah I fall into the same boat, which is what makes 5* so appealing. That said, I also don't plan to have a ton of these, and I really like owning things that look better with wear for a long time, so investing in something that feels special to me is worth it since I don't plan to buy many of...
