    RMC Buco J-24 (New fit) sizing help

    Yes, that makes sense. Prices for new jackets are absolutely insane outside JP. Let us hope that this year sees a turn for the better for your beautiful country and its great people!

    RMC Buco J-24 (New fit) sizing help

    Where do you plan to order the jacket? STUFF in Germany just restocked the RMC J-24, and that’s about the only place here I know that has them. I’ve bought a few things from them, and they have been super helpful with sizing advice. (Off topic: I trust you are in the west of Ukraine? All the...

    How would you handle this situation?

    I think that would be a good outcome for all concerned. The offer of the shop owner is generous, but hanging on to a jacket that looks great and will look better in time surely won’t hurt you.

    How would you handle this situation?

    Plus all “governmental” costs, such as VAT and customs.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Haha, fair comments! I think we are both right: For me leather equals protection, ruggedness, something bold, durable. The deerskin is soft, pleasing, marks easily and the shirt/shacket is all together a luxury piece of clothing. I like it a lot, but it takes getting used to the appearance...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks much! Yes, fits well. I chose the same size as my HH Western, but I have to say, it wears absolutely different. Much more natural drape (to the extent that it’s actually irritating to not have the inherent structure of the horse), and a lot of give, so I can easily layer over a...

    Trying to identify this Captain America heavy grain leather jacket:

    Not really. The pattern is well thought through. The restrictions mainly stem from the thickness of the hide, not so much from its inherent stiffness. I am quite sure a stiffer hide in that thickness would be quite unwearble. Think a suit of armour vs. a wetsuit. Still, I am superglad I...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The Shop/Y2 deerskin Western Shirt. Sadly, I cannot get the cream colour across at all. It’s somewhere in between eggshell, garlic and champagne, if that makes any sense. Never had anything in deer other than my “Lederhosen”, so drape and wear came as a surprise. 1,6mm of soft, spongy...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Oh, great! "The Shop", right?! Only thing I didn´t jump on it the second it went life is that it reminds me of the German Cop Jackets from the 1980´s. Too distinctive to unsee...

    How would you handle this situation?

    Hmm, I have a Y2-jacket in the same hide. It´s the "Chore-Coat", which is a shop-exclusive from "The Shop Vancouver". When it arrived, it showed the same charactersitics which apperaded as "scarring", coulor-variations or even "stains". All this was advertised and discussed prior to purchase...

    Trying to identify this Captain America heavy grain leather jacket:

    My vote goes to shrunken bison or bull. Y2 makes a similar one.

    Such a great hide on their house-jackets! I upscaled to an RMC one and do miss my Eastman ever since.

    Sending a leather Jacket through Japanese Customs to be repaired?

    I would just sit tight for a week or two. Customs turnover of 4-6 weeks is not unheard of, so I wouldn´t worry prematurely. What is happening is that the customs office needs to make a judgment call wether or not they "believe" that this is a repair on an previously taxed item, or a scam to...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Mixing things up a bit: Y2 Western Shirt in indigo horse. Can’t recommend this enough. Only thing is, it’s just too cold, even layered with a merino LS.

    How patient/disciplined should you be when waiting for a dream jacket to show up for sale?

    I am less disillusioned about “dream jackets” than the majority here. For me there always has been one or two “dream jackets”, and when I finally got them they didn’t disappoint. The thing I did experience, though is that sooner or later the sense of honeymooning fades away and other...

    How patient/disciplined should you be when waiting for a dream jacket to show up for sale?

    This is sound advice. I totally second the point of not settling for “almost”.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    A few days on a re-charging mission at some Bavarian hideaway. Some nice denim, some very nice Shinki horsehide. The rest is a lot of printed T-Shirts and Swim-Shorts.

    Vanson Model E fit

    It’s not on of Vansons generous cuts. While I am a size 42 in the Enfield or Model B, I need a 44 in the E.
