Amazing jacket

Yes, it is. Probably as nice a Horsehide Cafe racer as you can find, new or old.

To illustrate the difference between the 2016 and 2021 shinki hh batch for FW, here are a few photos. I personally like the outer appearance of the earlier 2016 batch better. It reminds me more of the original jackets from the 40/50. Of course, this is always a matter of personal taste. But i can well imagine that FW is currently, as mentioned, not getting leathers that meet their expectations.
