Advice on leather jackets in Tokyo

[mclaincausey]

@gbougard:

Hi

Im in Tokyo for a few days with Sly & Robbie and Johnny Osbourne and I'd like to know where to buy the best looking cafe racer type of leather jacket in RED leather, very soft and supple leather. I have aeroleather jackets and love them, but this time I'm looking for something much lighter, butter soft and RED!!!

What are THE places to go to?

Thanks

Not in Tokyo per se but Mushman's seems to have a shitload of leather and from terrific brands.

I know that RMC made a super red Buco J100….

^^I thought of that too, but bet that leather isn't soft; Bucos are usually super tough leather right?

I know, but that's the only one I could remember seeing somewhere, so….

Agreed!

I have spoken to my (funnily enough) French tannery.  They can make me a small tannage of scarlet goat.  Holy feck, I'm looking forward to that…..And Will is sampling a J100 for me at the moment, it's all ready to go, we are just waiting for the extra long Riri zippers for the cuffs.....
