Talk about trim fit and out of this world grail level jacket! You did it! We will see plenty of remakes of this jacket!

My Chopper from Thurston Bros came today! I'll try and do a full write-up later, but I'm a complete newbie so I don't know how much I really have to contribute. I am incredibly happy with it. I absolutely cannot wait to break it in.

A Book full of Jackets! I bought this on yahoo Japan on December 13, 2020. It was cheap compared to ebay prices. Shipping by DHL was going to be the same as shipping a jacket! So I opted for the cheap route, 3 months later it arrives.

I think it was bargained priced because the cover is put on backward?

Just thumbed through and it has a ton of jackets I have not seen. Always something new to learn in this books.

Thanks, I thought that may be the reason. Many new interesting jackets to drool over.

I have the Lightning book that has the white cover stating something like “all vintage” jackets. Not sure if it is any different from the other white covered books. I wonder if your new book is different and merits a BIN.

I just sit there and look at the pictures, similarly to normal people and their Playboy.

Jacket adjacent but I just won this full zip all wool TFH cardigan pretty inexpensive on buyee. My biggest concern is it'll be too warm to wear very often.

Nice! Sometimes a book about jackets is in fact more satisfying than another jacket. My Rin Tanaka book came with all of this correspondence (letters and envelopes) between him and a collector tucked in the pages.

Rins books are expensive, and somewhat responsible for the explosion in pricing over the last 5-10 years. But for all of that; they still are really cool. I own almost all of them and they have such cool stuff. They are a really good resource.

This book has a lot of pictures, not the best/largest shots. Here are some pages. It is mostly Japanese.

That sounds interesting! What language is the correspondence in?

Thank you. I may have to purchase it. The white-covered Lightning book is one jacket per page. A beautiful large photo of the front of the jacket and a smaller photo of the back. Really cool. I would post pics but it’s in my storage unit. In a place I cannot reach.

Oof this one hurts. I'm for real done buying flat head shit after this.

At least shipping was free.

I just ordered a Walter Dyer cafe racer from their ebay account. The pit to pit measurement looked weird, so I asked for a pic...it wasn't 19, but 21 inches. Should be perfect

Shipping+customs is not nice, but for a new Walter Dyer the price is right (and then some!).
