    Johnson Leathers Black Cherry Bison jacket

    I think so too! I was going to add the photos of my jacket to this thread because my own is a cousin to yours and a sibling to @Canuck Panda's grizzly, but I guess ours are siblings too! A fascinating thing about this jacket, compared to some of my other favourites, is that the shape seems...

    Heavy weight denim crotch wear

    Oh and then add to that that many people downsize because “it’ll stretch”; so a combination of abrasion and strain. Michael Young and Rolliworks/LA Watch Works are the way to go for your classic watches.

    Heavy weight denim crotch wear

    I haven't had a big problem with crotch blowouts, but then I wear midweight repro denim and wash it. The problem of the ultra-heavyweight denim is not helped by the fact that these people think washing will kill their fades, which it won't, but what it will do is cause abrasion from dirt...

    Heavy weight denim crotch wear

    Heavy denim will wear through quicker there, not more slowly.

    Addict clothes leather vs Lewis leathers

    That's what I thought, but Lewis Japan told my friend in Tokyo that the T widens the hem (unfortunately after he'd received the jacket). Yeah, I know about the Lightning's boxy tube fit of course. It's iconic in its own way.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Looks great! Which shade of Roma is this?

    Addict clothes leather vs Lewis leathers

    I didn't say that all Japanese shops use Engrish in the same way. LL's means smaller shoulders and a wider hem. This might work for some people, but I wouldn't call it a tight/slim fit. There are Japanese jeans I own that are labeled "tight fit" but are wide straight legs. (A friend had to...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    While not for me I think those are interesting. Sort of a postmodern reimagining of East West. I respect that.

    Their “tight” fit doesn’t mean slim. It’s Engrish for Japanese fashion fit.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Dunno about that. None of the ones (and there were several) I saw at Johnson were boring.

    Addict clothes leather vs Lewis leathers

    My impression is that Addict didn't pander to the Japanese fashion fit the way Lewis Japan did with the "T" line, which bizarrely "slims" things by making the shoulders smaller and the hem much wider. Rather it's the classic pattern but tagged bigger. My very slim and athletic friend in Tokyo...

    Any thoughts on wrinkly horsehide

    Indeed as the bit you quoted next laid out, this isn't just Mushman's policy as a dealer, but Rainbow Country's patterning method.

    Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?

    This just reminded me of when some influencer channel did a video with a tour of the Schott factory and interview of Jason Schott, and it kept cutting to the guy driving his Porsche up and down the street, and stopping to explain to Jason how a good leather jacket is iconic like his Porsche 911...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Yeah I paid much much more for my Johnson than my vintage Cal, but the latter was too short.

    Addict clothes leather vs Lewis leathers

    Lewis might allow that as well; most MTO makers do.

    Correct.

    If you're in the US, remember that the Lewis price is 20% lower than you see on the site.
