Near as I can tell, it was a 2020 limited release … has a neat sort of edgy appeal to me.

They definitely do straight zips better than cross zips in my opinion. This jacket has a lot of details I like.

Agreed. It has the right elements of the straight zip CHP, similar to the Mulholland, it looks just awesome to me! First Fine Creek I have seen that actually tempts me.

If anyone manages to find one of these in a 44-46, I’d be interested … or jealous of your purchase

I'd be curious to see it without the Water boarding/Instagram treatment they give all their jackets. I've found that in reality, fine creek's leather is pretty blah/boring. Design looks great though. Cool details.

Thanks Terry, I found that as well but I have no idea how to make an inquiry.

 

[Brandrea33]

Scratch that … I found this using the good ole google translate …

I sent an email to the address above about 20 minutes ago, and I already received a reply stating that the jacket was limited production of 20 PCs. I asked them to notify me if they make this model again. Not holding out much hope, but you never know.

I have a High Large (morphed into Fine Creek) Type I and the leather is spectacular. TBH - most of the pics I've seen haven't been real impressive (like those on Self Edge where the leather looks very flat).

Yea, there always seems to be a disconnect between what you see in their photos and what you see when someone shows off a new jacket.

However, the design of this one is at least very nice.

Indeed. When I saw SelfEdge was carrying FC I thought I might throw better sense to the wind and buy one. But the fits and the finish left much to be desired. Couldn’t rationalize it.

That’s interesting. I’ve struck out on fit for the two Japanese brands I’ve tried (RM, FW). What was it about the finish that didn’t speak to you?

I think the fit and the hide both look well below their pay grade. I couldn’t help but think the jackets actually looked worse than my H&M premium, which was a $70 (retail $300, LOL) purchase for me. Even the leather on the FC looks the same.
H&M:

Fine Creek:

Both jackets are “fashion fit”. Armholes and sleeve diameter are laughably small, I really don’t like that kind of fit. To me there just isn’t an $1870 jump between these jackets. In fact I don’t think I’d pay over $70 for an FC either. I do like the design of the one you pictured but I have yet to see an “in the flesh” FC that impresses me. Terry’s trucker is cool but he dropped in a river? I reserve that kind of treatment for far less expensive jackets.

 

[marker2037]

LOL @ "he dropped it in a river"

LOL @ "he dropped it in a river"

You talking about me? It wasn't really a River! It was all a huge mistake!

Fine Creek has always reminded me of Lost Worlds back in the Day. They had a tough road here. I still have my Test from that day and it still has an asphalt finish after 15 years on the back!

I remember one comment: "Lost Worlds remind me of Luggage" I had to agree and I've owned a few.

That certainly looks A LOT better than what I typically see, and better than the ty[ical prodoct shots!
