leather jackets with a still-reasonable used market?

[Will Zach]

Wait really? A lost world market from Japan is of a lower quality than one for the US market? I have one and I didn't notice it being much worse except maybe the zipper was different. Stuart, the paragon of quality is deliberately selling inferior goods? He should be ashamed

I think he meant (my recollection) a hit or miss situation with LW Japan, with samples floating around that were of inferior quality. I also had a LW suede trucker out of the Japanese line which was built like a tank. But I would hesitate now to buy LW from there.

That’s it.

Everything about the gear is quality, except imo the hide. Even Stuart sells it for considerably less.
