Double Helix Works?

[Herrvallmo]

Any love or hate for the Innovator? I've been wanting to get a J24 type jacket and this one seems not too far from RMC's model with perhaps better measurements for me personally and half the price.

Also does anybody have any experience ordering straight from the Double Helix website? Or are there better ways? Any discount coupons going around?

Can't comment on the quality as I've never owned a DH jacket(I really like the Innovator though, looks like a great J24-repro), and after reading this thread it sure seems like DH got their stuff together

For ordering I would recommend you check out Buyee or similar Japan proxy as you often get 10% or similar coupons and you don't have to wait the 45days(if ordering directly from DH). I would only buy directly from DH if I was to change the measurement/leather of the jacket as they do offer that service.

Cheers!

You could also use Juno proxy service if you're worried about import taxes (depending on where you live, I pay ~33% myself, which is nuts).
I checked some of the Double Helix jackets (including the Innovator) on their own website and boy do they run short in the body and sleeves (for my size at least). Definitely a big pass from me personally.
I also remember trying on a few of their jackets in London and was appalled by the cuts/patterns. But I'm sure it works fine for folks with certain body shapes.

I live where you live. Would using the proxy service somehow help avoid the import taxes?

Yes, using Juno helps tremendously with that. He takes a 10% commission fee but is flexible with value declaration. Obviously much more risky in terms of shipment insurance. For Estonia using Juno ends up cheaper starting from ~150-200eu.
