Mushmans

[Sir Jacket]

Has anyone bought a jacket from this Japanese company?

Increasingly drawn to this one (which has been discussed on the forum before) – http://shop.mushmans.com/?pid=59456330 – but there's no indication they sell internationally.

I think blue is an interesting departure for us, guys. I know someone posted a white leather a while ago and was laughed out of court. But blue – that's different.

Insurrection are doing a similar design in blue with the conjunction with Aero. It's a bit more vivid than this one. Love the Mushman's though, and Ishmael might be able to advise you on the potential for overseas exports.

 

[Sir Jacket]

Yeah, the Mushmans appeals slightly more at mo (although £1,000). Who is Ishmael, pray tell? SJ

 

[Sloan1874]

Ishmael is a Japanese-based FL-er, who is very good on Mushmans etc. You could try PM-ing him.

 

[Sir Jacket]

Thanks, Sloan. SJ

The Insurrection isn't the Mushman's colour.

 

[Sloan1874]

Heh. No it's definitely not.

Heh. No it's definitely not.

Seconded. As it happens I just cancelled an A1 order from "another vendor" but now think that greeny-blue number could be just the ticket to complete my row of jackets,

£1,000 is terribly steep, though,

To be fair to Insurrection, I've seen it 'in the flesh' and it's not quite as !BLUE! as the pics suggest, but I'd still prefer a more petrol blue.

 

[Sir Jacket]

Petrol blue a good way of putting it.

They ship overseas.
The owner Mr Fujita replies in English to emails. A very friendly guy.

 

[Sir Jacket]

Oh no: ever closer to the £1,000 payout. Might have to sell the kids.

Luckily, I have no kids (that I know about).

Thanks, Indigoeagle.

It's a good thing that I'm an EU 58 to 60, and Nigel Cabourn's stuff never goes that big...

Cabourn x Mushman's deerskin jacket. Only £1800.

 

[Sloan1874]

I know it's lovely, and if money were no object I'd be there like a shot, but £1,800, jeez.:eeek:

Holy cow. That is $2750 USD. :eeek:

Any update on this?
Or something like the Aeromarine in blue.
I do like the color combo on the Mushman's. Often hard to get blue "just right".

Jeff,

We've sourced a Waxy Blue and a Navy Blue steerhide. The Navy Blue is the color of your Aero Blue/Black Goatskin. If you'd like hide samples, email us and we'll send them out. The steerhide is beautiful and looks great with mid-brown knits...

Carrie. Was that included in the samples I received?

No, they weren't...we've sourced some darker blue steerhides...
