Finally pulled the trigger on a Y2 Shacket

[WatchesandBoots1125]

I finally pulled the trigger after going back and forth on picking up this "Shacket" from Y2 leathers. I wear a size 40 or M. After much reading on the internet I decided to go with a 42 in this one and I think I chose right. Just wanted to get feedback on the fit from others. One thing I will say I'm excited to see this leather fade. Its bright orange, but seeing posts on it online it does dull as it patinas.

First time I've seen a leather shacket - 42 looks like the right size.
It fits well, but is kinda long. Makes me think of a dress shirt length which one would normally tuck in anyway.

The shirt fits well. Wear it more often and it will be even better. Size 40 will be small in your chest.

Personally I don't think it can possibly fit much better than that. Love the orange + green combo! Gorgeous!

Looks great!

Looks super!

I have the indigo version, and sized as you did: one up from my normal preferences. They do run small in the chest.

As to "shaket": it sure is a very substantial piece (the indigo one is said to be 1,3mm), but I view and wear it as a western shirt. Not that it mattes much.

I did look at the camel steerhide version. Can´t look better!!

Oh man that’s a great shacket, that orange will turn into a really nice caramel brown with some good wear and sun exposure

Looks better than most leather shirts IMO ….

Nice! Do you have any pics on how your's has aged so far?

You got me! I am not much of a "patina thunderdome" fan. I don´t wear the shirt in foul weather. I could in terms of craftmanship and insulation (the liner!), but I just don´t look to accelerate aging.

That said: the pictures TJ posts about his beaten down shirts do look super! I especially like the potential in your shirt.

It has aged a bit from here, but this is the newest picture (I am travelling right now).
