that shade of indigo it has, almost makes me wish the whole thing was exactly that color...

this beast has landed just in time for the snow

[DeeDee85]

@Darth-fader wow!

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

@Darth-fader beautiful, man! Sold out too quickly in my size to snag one. Next year

[Darth-fader]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot oh no.....well all I can say is if you love the grizzly it will definitely be worth the wait

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

@Darth-fader I’ll survive!

Was definitely a “oh shit, that’s sexy af” moment when I saw it. Great pick up, man.

Little under 50 wears on my cafe racer! Love that jacket very much and how it looks already. Have been wearing it mostly for commuting and a couple times for longer periods or going out.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@FlavourFade that looks like the same leather on my chore, 1mm teacore?

[FlavourFade]

@WhiskeySandwich yes it is! Feels so soft and comfy after very few days of break in. I can imagine how the chore coat or western with the unlined (?) 1mm teacore must drape... Sadly I never saw them in europe

[WhiskeySandwich]

@FlavourFade not much drape really imo, it’s pretty rigid. It does have a cotton/nylon lining but it’s the leather that’s surprisingly rigid. It’s shaped out pretty good since I’ve been wearing it several days in the snow, but it’s like a creaky flexy shell lol.

[FlavourFade]

@WhiskeySandwich how much wear you have on it? My jacket was rigid in the beginning but I noticed how soft it became after maybe 30 wears, but it's still not fully broken in.

@WhiskeySandwich
that leather is really special, if I didn’t know it is just 1mm I would not believe it

[WhiskeySandwich]

@FlavourFade I’ve been wearing it pretty nonstop since it showed up last week, went sledding in it too lol. It got pretty wet like 3 times and I wore till dry. I can tell it’s getting much softer, wish I had a new one to compare it to.

@Daniel-San it is, feels more sturdy than the FCL did. I’m sure the leather can take some abuse, and I’m not going easy on it.

The top coat squeaks like a mofo tho, it really needs to chill lol

[FlavourFade]

@WhiskeySandwich I think it's gonna be soft in no time when you keep on going

[WhiskeySandwich]

9 days and this is feeling good

[NickD]

That looks so good, I’m really tempted by that or one of the suede ones, but I’d get screwed on tax coming into the UK.

[twin]

@WhiskeySandwich Looking good also.

[FlavourFade]

@NickD same thing for me that keeps me from buying one

[Darth-fader]

@NickD said in Y'2 Leathers….:

@NickD yeah the extra tax is a bit of a nightmare, but I just learnt to take it on the chin

This was the first time I’ve had to pay duty tax on an international purchase. Was about 130$ usd. Kinda a nutpunch but all considered, I’m satisfied with my purchase
