What I do not understand is that certain people do not want to understand when a job can be done in a similar working environment in one day and another job takes a week that there have to be a difference in price? These are simple marketing rules, isn't it?
I am with you, absolutely. Also, I'm tired of reading over and over again that or why Shinki HH is so expensive. I just wanted to explain the reason why that is, nothing more. Of course, all mentioned jackets manufacturers are top, have their own, wonderful leather. There is no ranking like...
Originally, I just wanted to express that the two jackets look alike. But when it was said in a reply in the other thread, the ELMC jacket was an "alternative", which I probably mistakenly understood as a "replacement". In fact the two jackets are fundamentally differ, in particular because of...
I just wanted to express that the new ELMC jacket is an option but not an equal replacement for the FW Mulholland. I probably have probs to explain differences what I understand in "option", "alternative" or "replacement" in English ;)

Undoubtedly, the leather used by Eastman Leather is very nice and good quality as well, but whether it's actually an "alternative" (in terms of a replacement) maybe more a "choice", once you've hit the shinki horsehide route... (meant is the shinki hh used by FW* :)).
I don't want open a bootle...
Nice addition to ELMC stock, lately :):
Latest addition to the ELMC jacket stable and available to order as of today the Highway Star®️ Horsehide jacket. The Highway Star takes its cut and design features from the classic California Highway Patrol jackets of the 1940s. The flattering cut is...
Good point. The dark spots are not noticable greasy as the other brighter leather sections. The jacket had from the beginning on darker sections (mottled). By wearing the jacket it darkened significantly at the points of stress. Also, the jacket get wet in a rain shower. But I think that's part...
