Dark-stone type III-Denim jacket, today.
no brand, and 1.6mm thick cowhide not sure the type of tanning. thanksPant is a bit too funky for me love the jacket, what brand and leather type is it?
I just got a couple of surprisingly nice ones on J Crew's Sales page for about $15.00 a pop. I think there are also some on their "Factory" page.Just have. Extremely cool but the prices are a bit too steep for me. I've nowhere near to spend as much money on a shirt. Only because I destroy them too quickly.
This jacket gets better every time I see it. I meant to ask...is that octagon? Looks a bit browner and less "marbled" than the octagon I had. Really nice jacket CC.Nice jacket Vu Ngo. I think you posted it on Reddit a week or so ago as well right? It's a bit more designer fashion than something I'd personally wear but it looks cool.
Today - Vanson T3 - It's colder this morning than you'd expect for this time of year.

Looks better than the newer octo I've seen. More reminiscent of the early 80's stuff.It's supposed to be octagon brown competition weight leather. I bought it second hand though so I can't say with 100% certainty.
Those pants are very American preppy.Probably no one on this planet I'd enjoy wearing turquoise trousers, but you!

Vanson does know how to make a great man jacket. What leather is it, cow/calf or horsehide?
Simmons Bilt makes my favorite version of the J100. Its the only one Ive seen that doesn't have the large "splay" at the bottom of the zipper which I don't care for. What are your thoughts on their Shinki El Marro?View attachment 75525
My new Simmons Bilt 4 pocket J-100 in black Shinki horsehide.
Btw, has anyone has a jacket with linen or linen-like lining - raw and super cool fabric as lining. Just very curious!
I think their black Shinki is quite nice. It is comparable in thickness and feel to the other two Shinki jackets I own, a Diamond Dave A-2 and a Good Wear A-2. I have only had the SB for a week but already it is beginning to show some nice grain on the arms at the waist where it bends when I am driving. The finish is a little shinier than I prefer but I think it will become less so with wear.Simmons Bilt makes my favorite version of the J100.

maybe it could work on the body alone, but not on the sleeve, I think it won't last around the cuff edges, and since it is also easily get wrinkled it would be a bit problematic, just my guessing.
Do you guys think a 1000-1500 range for a MTM leather jacket made from premium materials is too much?
