first day in the black ones
they have an amazing shine , reminds me of ink
️. Must be a result of the tea core treatment. Unique as I’ve never seen anything comparable so far

@thooy05 it looks perfect! Not sure you could do better even with made to measure leather
-
@thooy05 Adding to what the others have stated, the fit looks ace. The older style type I & II jackets run a bit shorter in the torso which can take some getting used to, at least it did for me. The sleeves and shoulders look spot on and sizing up would throw those off.

That jacket is perfect on you dude

@Daniel-San amazing jacket! That's how I get to wear my jackets atm, early morning on the way to work... No way for me wearing them all day with the heat...

hate summer

@Anesthetist said in Y’2 Leathers….:
@Kjunx nicely done! I love the looks of it, color me jealous
Not much of a photo poster but here’s the y2 scar chore after unboxing. Fit is a bit stiffer/tighter than the suede (to be expected) but will likely break in with wear. need to get a picture of it next to my weathered KB140 while it’s still in its pink era.

@Kjunx
awesome jacket!!
thought about it too, but went with the black 1mm tea core -
How have you all been sizing these chore jackets compared to IH? @Daniel-San looks like you went with a tag 46 but iirc we both ended up with 38 in the recent lefty run?
-
@pechelman I followed TJ's recommendations and went with the 44. I wear XL in IH shirts.
-
I went with 42 and usually take a tagged large in IH.
-
I took a long route on sizing for the Y2 Chore as I'm in between an IT48 (Belstaff), US38/Small or US40/Med (Schott), Small (Allsaints), and typically 40 (Y2 and DoubleHelix). I burned shipping $ and ordered both a 40 and 42 in the suede versions with the idea of returning the size that didn't work. I tried them on w/ single layers, light sweater, and a flannels). I will say, this particular cut that TJ designed is forgiving (i.e. you can go up or down a bit w/ reasonable margin of error).
Ultimately I stuck with the size 40 for the chore (across the board for my Y2s) based on this trial/error along with some big forum help here from @Anesthetist and others on comparable fit to other styles (it looked a bit more fit/polished on my frame IMHO). I have plenty of room to move, and a bit of room to layer, but 9 / 10 if I'm wearing this I'm not layering too heavy or I'm wearing an heavier coat on top. For reference I'm a IH Large in shirt sizes.
Hope this helps.

Top to bottom (KB-140-T, Chore Jacket Tan Suede, KS-11)

@pechelman
that’s correct. I went for a 46 because of the shoulders and to be able to wear a hoodie or thicker pullover in the winter. TJ measured it for me and we both decided the 46 is best option.
Have a Type 1 from Y2 too, and it’s a 44. There I can only wear a tshirt or thin longsleeve. -
@Kjunx beautiful!

I want one of these leather chore shirts pretty bad now lol, i've been fantasizing about a leather IH work jacket for a while now and these Shop Vancouver ones look damn good. Been wearing yours at all @Daniel-San ? Care to share any notes on it? Curious about the weight, sheen, lining etc. and does it have the interior pocket mentioned on their details page?
