Y'2 Leathers….

[pechelman]

After trying on a deerhide jacket in Osaka, I jumped on this when it popped up.

@pechelman I’m curious how it is too. Saw it on the shop and it looks awesome.

[pechelman]

It's super soft and almost squishy feeling. For a shirt it's as heavy as a jacket. It drapes more like well worn broken in heavy denim than leather. Totally different than the big buck. TJ's description is spot on in the videos.

@pechelman looks plush! I love deer

@pechelman How's the measurements/fit on that one for ya? Was really considering, but the sizing chart scared me a bit when I was comparing UHF sizing to the charts with TJ.

[pechelman]

I can take actual measurements later if you need, but I'd say it fits true to his chart. Generally it fits really similar to my large 293, maybe a touch wider. This is a size 44 which fits the same as the other y2 Western I was able to try in Osaka.

Fwiw, I'm usually an XL in uhfs Western and a large in just about everything else IH.

quick note: I'm wearing this at work to help break in, and it is steady producing a disruptive level of squeaks. I'm trying not to laugh.

@WhiskeySandwich Who's creating the distracting environment now? At least you're not farting (I hope)

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Tago-Mago HAHA ya got me! I can discreetly mask any farts with a stretegically timed squeak.

@WhiskeySandwich
will get better after first wear in rain .

@Daniel-San we're supposed to have some wet/snowy weather thru the weekend. Might have to start a sloppy snowball fight...

[pechelman]

@Mister_Brue it might be a moment before I wear it under something indigo but I see wearing it normally as I would any other jacket. I'm kinda interested to see how this leather might age or patina if it's anything like other pale leathers.

As for if I like it better, not really, it's just very different. This leather is so much thicker they can't sew on the front or rear seams which give a bit of character. This leather probably feels less water resistant as well compared to the oiled steer or horsehide options from the shop. I do like that this version has an internal chest pocket.

Had this shirt been available in camel when I visited, it probably would have come back with me then.

@Anesthetist

Hello,
does the leather jacket Y’2 come with a protective cover or garment bag and matching coat hangers?
Thanks!

[Daniel San]

@atanas38dimitrov
yes , Hanger and bag.

[Buckeye]

Garment bag is crap, to be honest. Hanger in the other hand…. Sublime
