    Buying jackets on Japanese auction sites

    4203.10.40 - Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, of leather or of composition leather: Other, coats and jackets. 6% tariff. This is if they used the correct code. I've had them incorrectly label things as women's clothing, textile jackets etc

    Buying jackets on Japanese auction sites

    In my experience it has been based on the tariff of the individual item, for example leather jackets have a certain harmonization code and rate. I've never had multiple items. it isn't a huge fee but it is annoying, fedex etc usually charges more for the paperwork as well. Lesson: try not to...

    Help me decide on a new jacket. Two different Y2 models

    Unless it's from china now... Plan for about 35-50 for shipping. At least for me on the west coast. It usually arrives in just a day or two with UPS or fedex.

    Standard motorcycle leathers, anyone have info about the brand?

    As far as sizing, again go by measurements. but they're Japanese jackets made by a japanese guy purely for the Japanese market. If you're a big lanky American dude it's going to be tough.

    Standard motorcycle leathers, anyone have info about the brand?

    Cowhide. Similar style and quality to four speed. It is a one man or very small shop and I don't believe they make jackets anymore. I think I read on Japanese listings they changed their name to something else but I can't remember what it is. I have a cowhide bag from them. One thing I will say...

    Cracking on boot — issue or no?

    Almost certainly yeah. If the seller is willing to help out. As the second owner you'd basically be praying that they (Wesco) do you a favor and help out in some way. You're not their customer. After seeing the pre-cracked pics I'd say very rare bad batch of leather. The logo is probably a...

    Cracking on boot — issue or no?

    If you seal the crack on the toe as mentioned, they will probably be totally functional for a long time. the ankle stuff is not really in an area that gets wet unless you're stomping through deep puddles.

    Cracking on boot — issue or no?

    Very weird to see cracking like that. It's through the topcoat and into the actual grain. Wonder if they got heated, frozen, or exposed to chemicals or something as mentioned. Maybe if they were frozen solid and then flexed?? It would be hard to do that kind of damage even intentionally. As the...
