Speedster (different kind of teacore leather than the pigment Shinki but general idea is similar)How come? Do you not like the Ponyboy? When I saw that jacket online, it was love at first sight.
Funny enough, I was considering ordering the Speedster from Barnstormer a few days ago. It looked great on me when I tried it on in their store in Japan. But I just couldn't pull the trigger because the double front pockets just feels off to me. It's definitely not everyone's cup of tea.
How long do you reckon it takes to break in a jacket like the Speedster or Ponyboy? I'm sometimes embarrassed walking in public wearing such a stiff jacket lol.
Only teacore in high abrasion area and one side of the zipper wears faster. The brown tape blends well. Something to think about, tape color and stitch color if you were going custom
The big panels of the jacket is just black. But nice wrinkles, the same is with Shinki teacore, but the RC teacore leather has more translucent finish on top. It's just makers trying to differentiate themselves. Both does that horsehide wrinkle well, basically shrunken grain of some sorts, the wearing agitation and the weather moisture tightens and pops the grains. And horsehide got lots of them. Higher the wax content the more they look wrinkled by wearing.

@livioli don't worry too much, just wear your jacket when it arrives. Should be soon I think, isn't the usual pre-order delievery in march or april?
