Y'2 Leathers….

I’ll add my two cents on sizing. I’m 6’3-6’4, 190ish pounds and have a fairly long torso. I usually fit in XL iron heart jackets and size up to XXL in UHF’s for extra length in the body. I bought a 44 in the Henry western directly from TJ a couple years ago. Beautiful jacket and colour, I really like it.
In retrospect I wish I bought a 46. I find the 44 a bit restrictive in the chest and quite tight in the armpits. It was very expensive so I haven’t just gone out and bought a bigger size. Should I stumble across an extra few grand I will sell my 44 and size up. I would 100% recommend sizing up at least a size in the westerns.

Beautiful new red chore jacket (with a zip and snaps) from TJ at The Shop Vancouver. Interesting (and slightly concerning) to see the price increases for horsehide, with this one coming in north of $2400 (with customs on top, for most of us). The Real McCoy’s Buco J-100 has also gone up from $1600 to $2430. I wonder if this is more the price/availability of horsehide, or the general Japanese economy.

@Buckeye
the new red shore jacket looks absolutely stunning
really digging it
but asked myself the same question about pricing
.
I looked up some prices in Japan and it’s much cheaper there. For example the Grizzly jackets from Double Helix. -
@Buckeye @Daniel-San I was following the process of TJ wearing the sample and love everything about it but the price is just way too much for me .. I can't tell if it's maybe worth it but no matter how much I like this jacket, I can't wrap my head around 2.5k+++ on a single piece of clothing. Still thinking about one of the chores

I don’t doubt that it’s worth the price… but the idea of being unable to try it on (as I suspect it’ll be pre-order only for this jacket), along with the inconsistency of sizing just make it a difficult venture. It’s another thing I love about IH: the meticulous quality control and the availability of exact size charts prior to product release. They haven’t done any pre-orders from what I can recall, and really give every chance to ensure a piece will work out before the purchase is made
-
@Buckeye thats completely right! Offcourse IH is a much bigger operation than the shop and I am pretty sure they can handle a piece not selling the greatest better than TJ. But for me its more that 2500$ is a price i'd really have to save up for and work hard for. So like you said I would not gamble then. Also I had some expensive Leather Jackets in the past and ended up selling them and mostly because I never got the sizing right

@FlavourFade
the shore‘s are awesome. But you get a big bill from german customs
I had to pay almost 400€ !!!! extra for taxes . So in the end it was way more expensive than I thought. So keep that in mind when ordering . If you have any sizing questions just contact TJ on instagram. He will check all the measurements , same like the IH crew. -
@Daniel-San wow 400€ for customs changes a lot. Maybe stick with something available in Europe
thanks for the heads up! -
@FlavourFade
no problem.
still think it’s worth it
rain of the last days did some magic, it’s easy to button up now
-
@Daniel-San killer combo!! Love how it looks together with the faded denim and black boots.
Maybe I will still get one someday because I really like the look

Just to reiterate what’s been said about TJ and his service/support…everything I have purchased through him has been exceptional as well as his communications with me during the process.
He has always answered my questions and will double check a measurement if I needed. He has also been supportive after the sale by confirming fits (sent by pictures) to him as well as phoning me once to make sure I was happy with one of my buys.
He’s got a great thing going and I support him and his operation 100%.

If one were to visit the Y2 shop in Osaka what special item would make it worthwhile?

To be certain, TJ is one of, if not the best, in the business. Great guy!

Purchased the chore jacket a couple months ago (yet another awesome piece I could not get out of my head due to this forum) and wanted to pile on all the love: TJ is the real deal.

@flannel-slut @goosehd @Daniel-San Heck ya, TJ is the man. For me growing up as a Canadian Snowboard kid, TJ was an absolute legend in the scene. Everybody looked up to him. He brought the same energy and enthusiasm to snowboard products back in the day as he does now. It is so rad to see where he has come with the Shop and I am stoked to see all the future projects he has up his sleeve. I mentioned to him the other day that if a product passes the TJ eye test, then you know it is going to be insane.
