I was looking through instagram and this brand came into my feed. They were featured in Clutch magazine issue that Himel is featured in.
I couldn't find anything about it on google. The brand seems to be Japanese, the style is very typical of vintage leather brands, half belt, cafe racer, Buco...
I could be wrong but this is like an Engineer thing. Engineer faculties in most major Canadian universities still issue these leather jackets. I see them all the time on the street here in Toronto, not sure about the quality though.
Bump,
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with Himel's goatskins. Most of the jackets here talked about are made of Shinki Horse, but looking through his catalogue he does offer a whole array of goat skins. I am looking for something that might be lighter than horse that I can wear...
if you really like the leather, you should buy it, as far as I know SB is the only company that offers that leather. By the way many people on this forum own/owned SB/AL jackets. There are a lot of threads on their product. Don't be swayed by what an internet forum tells you, it's your money...
you didn't make a mistake, you are allowed to make threads on the topic. It's just a lot of threads of Simmons Bilt turn sour and the mods eventually close it.

When I think of fashion leather I think about soft lambskin jackets at the gap or something
I've seen a lot of pictures jackets on the forum I have to say whenever LW is posted, the construction and finish is always impeccable just by the eye test, it's really up there with the Japanese brands. If they offered lighter hide I would be all over that given the price.
By the way what's the measurements for that, what what size do you usually, I always find it hard to know the size for shearling jackets what's so thick
Honestly I don't really see the ridicule of the older generation. I don't think I've ever heard of someone making fun of a dad wearing dad jeans, it's more like if you are 17 and you wear dad jeans people will ridicule you. Same goes the other way around, I think if my dad walked out today with...
