Freewheelers Journeyman (Deer)

^to me those pocket flaps are like the nipple. The best things to look at.

Super, you'll be an A-2 convert in no time.

Not to be outdone with pocket flaps, a similar style--the Himel Northlander:

Finally giving thee ole A2 a try, eh @Superfluous? Star is a great contract. You should be really happy with it.

And I gotta say, I am a full blown converter to the car coat. Think I'm ready for another

The eagle has landed. Will follow with some fit pics within the week when I get a chance.

For now, just some quick pics out of the box. Fits is spot on though.

Wow! Absolutely beautiful.
We should coordinate so we don't step on each other's upcoming review.

That would be great! Have you received yours? Also a size 38? My tag says "Limited Edition 15 of 15" I wonder number yours is.

My photos are pretty bad, so you'll have to do better on that front The color in person is warmer. Here's another one from the Old Goat Instagram, less broken in than the one in the first Old Goat photo:

Beautiful jacket! If you ever bring it south, let me know -- I would love to see it and try it on.

 

[handymike]

Mine's not a journeyman, Im afraid Freewheelers are out of my league.
Fabulous jacket you got there.

This is a nice jacket. I don't think I have seen anything like it being copied by the mall brands.

Most people identify this kind of clothes with old people in a bad sense. Let them do that, more power to us.

I would often stumble upon such statements on different forums but I have yet to see an old person wearing anything even remotely similar to this.

I look forward to seeing this one. Outstanding.

Well said. I see this statement a lot, but agree that I mostly see rather young guys wearing stuff like this.

In fact, one of the Himel Canuck jackets I have seen the most is worn by a young guy from Japan.

Are you saying I am not young. Guilty.

 

[A-1]

@Superfluous Aren’t you the young guy from Japan? That’s how I understood it.

Honestly, who actually cares about such statements. I think we’re all old (young) enough to make our own decisions if we like to wear a jacket or not, regardless of what other people say. For me, I’m still so happy with my DD Buco and as the temperatures are falling, I’ll be able to wear it again.

I like those designs by the way. Himel and Freewheelers. (Maybe someday when I’m more mature..., haha)

 

[dudewuttheheck]

Well, the guy looked like he was 21, so even younger than me haha

 

[navetsea]

quite a long jacket, dunno how japanese could pull it off, to me it needs extra long legs to make it works.

 

[Edgar Laurel]

Someone here ought to start a business making super overpriced yukatas, haoris and jinbeis, one million dollar a piece. I'm thinking, made from Lochcarron Tartan.

Or FQ Horse Hide.
Donkey Hide is an option also.

I'm seriously beginning to love this jacket.

 

[dudewuttheheck]

I'm seriously beginning to love this jacket.

Freewheeler's longer, buttoned jackets are their strong ones IMO.
Their shorter, zippered jackets tend to be overdesigned Imo.
