- you need to have at least 1 leather jacket that’s not black or dark brown
- don’t buy a jacket just because it’s a great deal but it’s not really your style or size
Giving this a bump since I’m also very interested in this jacket and would be great to see some fit pics of yours.
Also interested if you know if it’s veg tanned calfskin and has the color changed at all since you got it, also approximately how thick is it and how’s the lining and pocket size...
There’s a member on SF that’s willing to proxy but it also appears he’s just interested in buying kapital stuff.
So yeah I’m looking for a japan proxy as well, but just for leather jackets, so we should let each other know if we find one.
Currently it’s 5% off on FJ but here’s another code for mercari jp items through FJ, and you could still ask for another 10% off from the seller although it isn’t a gimme but the seller could bite
Tenjin only does cowhide and oiled calf (kip), and their site is fully translatable to me in ios safari, their wait times for custom is currently around 5-8 months though
Heres a pre-owned tenjin in regular cowhide that’s almost getting to that nice brown tone but still has to darken a bit...
If you’re stuck on oiled steer/cow I would suggest a tenjin works in natural/tan, and you could get that mtm as well
If you’re open to oiled horse then I would suggest the new fine creek rosen (jacket) or drifter (car coat), these are just about to come out and currently on pre-order, or blue...
Currently mostly piled up on a leather seat and maybe 1-2 stretched out over it
But that’s only cuz you guys got me paranoid about stretching them with normal wood suit hangers, so now I’m looking for pool worms and whatnot so I can put them back in the closet

I don’t like wearing double riders, cross zips, anything double breasted or with big collars, no matter how good I think they look when I’m not wearing them
Also nothing with big armholes, or no loose fitting jackets for that matter
I’ve done it, twice now, I thoroughly rinse the jacket after dying it, let it dry off completely then spray a coat of mink oil, brush it in and do another light coat (no brushing after 2nd coat), or I assume you could even set it with something like scotch-guard spray but I haven’t tried that...
That’s not bad at all, thanks!
Considering the low stock numbers that brand produces it’s highly likely I’ll try them out sooner than later cuz I was also considering getting their little wing and having the collar redone to a smaller jacket type collar cuz I think that jacket also looks really...
Nice, I’m currently scouting for one but they’re soo scarce
I’ve been trying to get pics and measurements from the few shops that stock it but most are sold out, so if things start looking grim at least now I know theres this route to consider
And if you don't mind me asking, whats the time &...
It’s tough, I had a bunch of outerwear I loved and had to let go when I moved from toronto to socal weather
The hardest part is getting rid of it, but out of sight out of mind, and best part was I stopped feeling bad/guilty for not giving them the attention they deserved every time I saw them...
One more, when is the next season or restock of fine creek jackets that are currently sold out everywhere?
Do they only do limited quantities a year or are they also having issues lately sourcing quality leathers and only putting out what they can?
