Simmons bilt seems ~£200 cheaper to me, how are people saying they are the same. Also it seems that all their leathers (including their japanese HH) are the same price?
That is an insane length, I have a 26 inch jacket and that is probably the maximum I could do, plus that’s a cafe racer, which is usually longer than a Double Rider
This is one of the best deals I’ve seen! If nobody here buys this I will be shocked.
Like new Vanson renegade, size 42,$250…

Really useful, thanks! I’m already seeing the break in you mentioned in some parts of the jacket, but oddly one of the sleeves seems to be completed unchanged (while the other sleeve is). Guess I just need to keep wearing it.
I have a schott jacket made of their steerhide, and it has a finish which I've seen many people here call plasticky (which I agree with). How long does it usually take for this finish to fade?
Going to tag @Monitor if that's ok, know you're the resident schott expert
To me these two in particular have fairly similar pocket placements. Wasn't me that stated pockets being closer wouldn't look good (conscious this was another user), however I do think the pocket placements are fairly similar

Schott 618, size 38 at a great price. Id buy it if it weren’t for customs / tax:

@ChienChilla My takeaway is although it could have been better, it is still very good. You need to keep in mind that people in this forum are aficionados and perfectionists. Details like pocket placement are not going to be noticed by 99% of the public (plus the other Himel jackets with similar...
To the people who said the proportions are off, off the top of my mind @Carlos840,
I found this other thread https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/himel-the-imperial.100703/page-6 where Tom71 posted his imperial, and the proportions seem somewhat similar no e.g. high pockets, low adjust or...
Decided to buy this in the end and so glad I did! I think I was just mentally getting used to the perfeco look, which is somewhat intimidating, but wore it a few more times and love it now!
