Catch and release - this jacket is back up for sale. The leather is beautiful and in great condition given it's age but never cracked my rotation - I usually reach for my Simmons Bilt or Rainbow Country instead.
OP's pictures/measurements are accurate but I'm happy to take additional ones for...
Well I really goofed up now. I thought I had a problem with weak fabric holding the male pin starting to fray so I decided to reinforce that area with some fabric glue. Now I can't insert the male pin into the slot at all, the glue must have made the fabric thicker so now it won't fit.

- Pure Blue Japan (hard to find, it's...
I just returned from a 3 week Japan trip so I've got tons of recs and a fat credit card bill:
- Americaya in Ueno (I don't think it's called Ameyoko). Americaya is actually 3 stores (including Hinoya). The one you want to go to is called General Garden. This place is a Japanese leather jacket...
I just picked up a highwayman in the same leather in Japan for $1.6K. This is an excellent deal for anyone looking, the seal brown shinki is so amazing
