Y'2 Leathers….
-
@Darth-fader Very nice! Dont worry about the shine as it looks great for now and wears off in time with wear.
-
@Darth-fader
wow that’s awesome.
never seen that one before, where did you get it ? -
@Daniel-San it was an eBay find from Japan.....I hadn't seen these before either, its the LB-140
-
great find !
have the LB-140 in black . brilliant jacket! -
@Darth-fader that thing is so dope! Congrats on the score. Our hosts at Y2, who I think are the owner and maybe his partner, both said the cherry was their favorite of all of their leathers. It's really great and they had an old sample of your jacket hanging up in the show room to show how it ages. The some shine will dull and get more burnished as you'd expect.

@pechelman thats awesome, thanks for the colour inspiration man, your jacket looks so good!

@Darth-fader holy geez

Hey @Daniel-San , how’s that 1mm tea/core doing? How’s the chest room on that one? I’m thinking that may be my next try since the Leon isn’t really working out.

@WhiskeySandwich
yes I thought the same as sabergirl when I’ve seen your pic .
the 1mm shore is awesome and has more room along the torso for sure. But I think it’s not so cool for riding a motorcycle.
what about the double riders jackets from Y2 or Double Helix or the flat head ? They are more roomy than the fine creek and the bi swing makes them more suitable for riding in my opinion.
But if you just want a awesome leather jacket I can highly recommend the shore.
Maybe TJ from the Shop Vancouver can help you finding the right jacket . -

@Daniel-San word, thanks. If it fits and is comfortable I’m sure itd be good for everything I do on/off bike.
Any testimonials as to how these fit whether steer or horse is appreciated. Arm slimness? Shoulder dims? Armpit fit etc? Real world experience never ends up in the product description lol

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot Great combo

Ended up going for the 1mm Black Chore in a size 44. Hoping this works out better than that FCL Leon. In hindsight, idk why i didn't go with this first cuz i've had my eye on it forever. The measurements on the 44 are damn near the same as my XL UHFs, so it should work out fine. TJ at The Shop has a few videos about how horse breaks in and it looks like all of his worked like shrink-to-fit lol. I didn't know about this, could end up pretty dialed. super psyched.

@WhiskeySandwich
I sized up on the shore because I wanted to have the opportunity to layer. first it felt a little big and boxy , but it starts to mould pretty fast .
here’s a little teaser
-
@Daniel-San cant wait man! Has it seen much rain? "Shrunk" much? I plan on wearing the hell out of it, i do ride in the rain and that seems to be how TJ gets his break-in fit. I'm afraid it'll be too big just because its size 44. The chart is on point tho with a little bit over in the shoulder. I'm 5'11" 175lbs, which is smaller than TJ but my chest and shoulders are bigger, and i have orangutan arms.

@Mister_Brue yeah looks hella awkward at first. measurements are key tho and as long as there's nothing super wonky about it, I'm sure it wont be baggy fit. This is going to be a fit-by-feel, not by look i think
