Thank you for this competent review. Your specifications are the reason why I love the shinki leather from FW so much. You have already mentioned it, this leather mold to the wearer's body in a way that I have never experienced before. The fit is spot on ... enjoy wearing your Mulholland.
You have a very nice collection of leather jackets but as you already mentioned, all in the same style, simple moto / half-belt cut. Why not take a slightly different direction for a Jacket? Thedis leather jackets can also be custom made.

Why I am asking, somewhere I read about delivery from shinki hikaku leather ... I found it (Post from Himelator):
... "Now Shinki can only supply a few companies, me included...they do not have the capacity of a company like Victoria with its huge drums and quick tan process which is why the...
Does anyone know which Shinki HH is used on Field Leathers? Is it the output that goes to FW, RMC and possibly Rainbow Country or is it from the pile for the others such as Himel, Goodwear, SB etc.

For me personally this is the most beautiful leather jacket you have. It fits perfectly, the green deerskin is extraordinary as only a thedi leathers leather jacket can be ... enjoy wearing it. The bag is awesome too!
