Y'2 Leathers….

@Daniel-San cheers, dude! Definitely not a puffy down vest, but far from thin. I love the look of those two-tone ones, as well
-
After thinking about it for well over a year I just ordered the camel chore shirt. Beyond excited!

Sweatpants chic. Size 44 feels pretty much perfect. I can wear a hoodie underneath but shirt isn’t too big to wear with only a t-shirt. -

The weather in Southern California has been a bit sporadic recently. I used it as an opportunity to get some more wear on the SK-13.

uh oh.......
-
@Darth-fader stunning piece! I have not seen this configuration from The Shop before, can you elaborate on what we are seeing here? Loving the zip + snap closure on the chore coat.
-
-
@SourPower yeah, it is the shop chore jacket as NickD said!.....It arrived today and is so good in person, better than it looks in the photos. The only issue at the moment is that it feels slightly oversized to me, like I could have maybe gone a size down.....but ham hoping it will shape out a little with wear.
-
@Darth-fader @NickD thank you very much! Incredible piece, making me want to get a hand dyed jacket when I visit the Y’2 shop…
-
@Darth-fader let’s see a fit pic?? The educated eyes around here could help out with fit advise.
Killer as fuck piece by the way…holy radness!!
-
@Darth-fader These Shop Vancouver Y2 chore jackets really do a great job creasing, and shrink to fit nicely. If it’s a little loose to start, I think that’s the way to go!
-
@Darth-fader The color variation on that piece is ridiculously awesome! Congrats!
-
Love the red chore jacket from the Shop. Has anybody in the US ordered anything from the Shop since the tariffs were imposed? I would hate to have to pay another 10-25% on top of the price for the jacket. I asked TJ but he did not know.
-
@BorisB TJ definitely declares value truthfully. Which is the right thing to do, and honest, but means that there will likely be customs to pay. I had around a ~$150 hit with my kakishibu chore last fall. That being said… I don’t believe that the 25% tariffs have gone into effect, and the dollar is getting much weaker internationally. The time to buy is probably now.
-
@Buckeye Thanks so much for your fast reply. $100-150 is the same hit I took with almost all my jackets as well (oddly most for processing). I guess you are right but given the uncertainty, I am a bit unsure if I should get (another) chore jacket. Supposedly, Canadian goods are not part of the pause and products not exempt under the trade deal will have 25% tariffs. That could easily jump up the above hit to $300-400.
-
@BorisB For what it’s worth, I think that the tariffs themselves are applied by the origin country of the goods, which in this case would be Japan (rather than Canada). That being said, I think you are completely correct… a (possible) nearly $500 swing on top of an incredibly expensive jacket isn’t reasonable. I put that responsibility on TJ to figure out for you… But maybe that isn’t a reasonable ask of me, and we’re just spoiled by the way IH conducts their business
-
Thanks everybody for their input. I might also have to hold off for now. The above point about the origin being Japan is a great point. Reading more about it, the USMCA trade agreement would exclude clothes if the materials would originate mostly from one of the members of the trade partners.
I just hope this craziness stops at some point as I really like TJ’s clothes. -
It is based on the country of origin, not sale - see the link at the top of the forum on how it affects IH goods, also made in Japan.
If I was in the US, I'd wonder if it isn't a little cheaper to fly to Vancouver and wear it back...
In the UK we have to pay VAT at 20% on the item and cost of shipping (over a fairly low minimum) and I've got to admit I rarely buy from overseas because of it, especially if I'm not certain on the sizing.
