This is not what I’m saying…

Our unanimous point about fit isn’t that you won’t know what fits well or badly until it’s worn in. It’s that the nature of leather means customization generally doesn’t help; a well developed and established pattern is much more important.

I don’t have experience with Y2 or Double Helix but they’re quite expensive for an experiment. Furthermore most Japanese jackets tend to fit poorly especially on non Japanese physiques so keep that in mind as well.

oh I see so you really shouldn't get a custom fitted jacket unless nothing fits you, mb I didn't realise what you were trying to say even though it was right in front of me. In that case arn't standard japanese sizes normally very weird (big shoulders, flat chest) or will those jackets just break in to fit my body measurements after wear I definitely don't want it to look weird could I not just get the best of both world's(established patterns, good fit) by going to a tailor and getting them to build me a jacket?
I just want it to fit perfectly man

Y'2 Steer Oil, Camel color


They also use this steer oil leather in their other models. Just search. I've seen this leather used on quite a few of their core models.

Like this one,

Or you can just get the western shirt one and put a zipper in yourself. This way you get both the Mad's jacket look but also zipper function. I've had zipper put in my Type III trucker jackets and they work very well. Edit, like this, https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/what-jacket-are-you-wearing-today.82949/post-3100960

Wait so is white the best background for what a jacket is going to look like irl? I normally just look for a vid of someone wearing the jacket I want

It would certainly be best to have before and after pictures with details of what was done to the jacket and how often it was worn. Sometimes you can find something like that here.

JP jackets have small shoulders for the Asian men’s smaller frame size. Their chest measurement is usually 2 sizes too small compared to the tag size. People usually have to size up by 1-2 sizes, but even then, the shoulders still wouldn’t fit the typical American/European frame.

It’s worse if you drop $2k or more on a JP jacket that doesn’t fit but is hard to sell in America/Europe. The clientele for those jackets is in JP.
