    Chinese Horsehide - Mulholland Clone

    Chinese Horsehide - Mulholland Clone

    @Blackadder Taobao has few custom jacket makers too. I saw one custom Buco J100 horsehide seller. Other than Hardware all other things seems acceptable.

    Chinese thedi knockoff

    I have 2 jackets off aliexepress. One perfecto ripoff , other one is highwayman style. Trying to get rid of them. Some sellers do offer actual pics with measurements before sending. but IMHO for ~150-200 its not worth it. Ali has lot of buco/horsehide ripoffs too.
