Diamond Dave - Buco J-21

That's what I like about leather - it's so organic. And it GAINS character with wear. Textile jackets are best brand new, and go downhill from there.

While I love all my jackets and wouldn't give any of them up, its really great to see someone with just 1 jacket that is completely happy with just it and wears the crap out of it.

I've been wearing it every day since I got the jacket. I like to not have the choice. One thing less to care about. Haha.

This jacket is awesome!
I love it and all its details.
The fading of the black to brown has more or less stopped. I think it looks really cool.
Here are some detail shots:

Have a good weekend everyone!

This is worthy of its price.

Seems this level of arm creasing comes with tight sleeves. It's really looking great btw.

Yeah I love the arm creasing/tunneling. It's my favorite aspect of jacket aging.

Thanks for sharing the gestation, delivery, and growth of your little bundle of joy. You're like a proud dad showing pictures of his firstborn. And I enjoy seeing every one - I ALWAYS follow this thread. Sincerely, thanks.

Your slim sleeves give really nice creasing. Won't get that from wider sleeves (like some of mine). You did well.

@Superfluous BTW the jacket got into the rain almost daily in April. Nothing happened to it.

That's good to hear. I've been worried about getting my Shinki rained on. Thanks for being the guinea pig

Hey A-1 Here's what you're going to be wearing when you're a grandpa!

 

[A-1]

That'd be really cool!

That must have started out brown though right? Surely it wasn't black!

In the rain:

This is my best rain jacket. My Barbour always gets soaked whereas the water peels from the DD. Beautiful.

 

[mendelboaz]

You're killing me here, man... God what a jacket.

 

[Monitor]

Same with Schott CR! I've been riding in the rain two days ago, the jacket was drenched but it didn't soak up a drop. Vanson appears completely waterproof as well.

PS; love this song you made:

Do you do the guitar and vocals all by yourself?
