Himel Frobisher

My favorite Himel pattern. A nice combo of 50’s HB design elements applied to slim 30’s-40’s fit aesthetic. Simplicity at its finest. Gorgeous!

Damn!! Looks like an upgraded version of a model E. Nicely done!!

Thanks Ton. JL was able to put a thru belt on mine, as requested. They really did a great job. I also added a few extra inside pockets. This CXL horsehide is no joke. lol. I might have bit off more than I can chew.

@roadking04 Awesome!! I was working in SF recently and popped into JL for a few minutes. All the time I had— almost walked out with an OTR jacket like this. So damn nice.

Thanks J. I would love to visit their shop someday. They really know how to build a motorcycle jacket. I went with the "hoodie fit" on this one. I have a detached garage and I trudged through a foot of snow to get to my bike. I was able to sit on it and I don't think any cold winds will get through this jacket. Feels really great on the bike and pretending to ride. lol. Can't wait to give it a go.

Great looking jacket....serious leather !!

Thanks TREE. I have an older Vanson comp.weight jacket and I used to have a Langlitz HEAVY weight Colombia before they discontinued it. I have to say, this is an industrial grade motorcycle leather.

Great jacket! Nice double prong belt and I see you got a fur collar on this one too.

Thanks Panda. Good eye. Yes, I have the fur collar. A "must have" in my climate. lol. I forgot to have it on for the pic. I took it off and was trying different combos. JL did a really good job with the neck opening. The opening works with the collar/without the collar, with a hoodie/with a t-shirt.

I just told Alan I wanted a belt, he did the rest.

My long awaited JL jacket arrived. 4oz+ overdye. WOW. Might take a few years to get some creases. Fit is a little roomy, but I have no problems with a hoodie underneath.

I finally had someone around to snap a few pics right out of the box. I didn't know my little granddaughter did a photo bomb. lol. She was actually helping with the break-in, she was chewing on my sleeve leather zipper pull, adding some patina. lol.

Will always be my fav among all my jackets.

Just received this Indian Allstate from Buyee.jp. Looks like a repro of some model I thought I had spotted in the Rin Tanaka book, but I must have imagined it because I couldn't find it anymore. Anyway, I was attracted to the simplicity of the pattern. It's very well built in a teacore horsehide that's hefty and pretty grainy in places. The fit is very similar to my LW J 23. Already a favorite.

Just a trip to the store, but feels more fun wearing the Buco. (White spots are on the mirror not the jacket.)

It’s a Dehen N-1 day. Spent my morning shoveling with our fresh 3” of snow. Now running errands and this jacket is a perfect choice: flexible enough to move around, thick mouton for warmth, and the waxed exterior provides good water resistance.

Awesome. I love the look of clean D pockets(no coin pockets on it).

Well now I want one of those! Which color combo is that?

 

[dudewuttheheck]

@torfjord @tmitchell59 those jackets are way too cool.

Well now I want one of those! Which color combo is that?

The Dehen site calls it “loden and gold.” Not my first choice (really wanted the blue/brown). But another TFL user sold me this one and the price was perfect. Todd Snyder has it listed at $999 right now vs $1295 direct from Dehen.

The canvas color is a bit darker than what my pics show.

Why does everything need to be so expensive. It's spectacular. Best looking deck/waxed jacket i think I've seen

Staying home today to tinker with my DIY project.
