I heard that all RC jackets are hand-made by one master craftsman. Is that man Miyoshi San? I thought he was just the leather finisher. I would love to know who made my jacket.
unlikely. they make a fairly high volume.
haha true that.
Was just thinking that. Wouldn't make sense since they make jackets for other brands too ...
Fantastic All State you have there man. Happy it worked for you, and have to agree…no trying on?!? Sounds wild
yes, especially when it actually involves quite a lot of money.. I understand they don’t want you to get down on the floor doing pushups in it!
Thank you!
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. 
The dilemma is that these veg tanned shiniki develops crease very easily and crease leads to weak point (fading), so quite a few shops in Japan ask customers not to bend their arms when trying them on. But the whole trying on involves flexing to see if you feel comfortable.
Thank you! Yes, if I just wanted a black double rider in Shinki it would have been easier to go for one of The Real McCoys Buco reproductions or a Flat Head but there’s something about RC All State more “simple” design that speaks to me. The “low profile”, no webpage/instagram and my idea of getting just one great jacket I was trying to aim for the best quality.
I understand that policy to some extent because later when I tried the jacket on properly I started to see where the first creases of the jacket would end up right away.
Do you know what type of leather this is?
Do you know the contact info or instagram of Avenue? I can't seem to find it.
