the Nitta leather is awesome! softer than Y2 or Shinki though thicker . even I was only wearing it around 1 hour in the car ( with AC ) first amazing creases and rolls set on the sleeves.

nice @Daniel-San

@Daniel-San so bad ass man. Congrats on the jacket.

little one week review of my Innovator
worn only in the car on my way to work and back home in the afternoon.
this leather rolles and moulds absolutely awesome!! It already looks like it’s been worn for many weeks or months. Incredible
super curious what the first rain walk will do to it !? this Nitta leather is definitely as great as my Flat Head Double Rider first version which was my favorite so far.

@Kasi

@Daniel-San that’s truly amazing! Been looking at that jacket myself
-
-
@Kasi

another month of daily 1 hour wear in the car on my way to work . absolutely fascinated how the leather moulds .
-
@Daniel-San these little updates just excite the heck out of me!🫣 truly feels like the innovator is my next dream jacket in line
-
@Daniel-San that looks sick. hide is killer on that
-
@Daniel-San man that makes me miss my innovator. Was my first HH jacket, unfortunately had to let it go after I realised I sized wrong.
-
@FlavourFade
get a new one mate@WhiskeySandwich
the leather from Nitta is insane, thick but soft . gets more and more my favorite leather and if you ask me it’s better than shinki . -
@Daniel-San I will eventually. Other priorities right now
-
@Daniel-San
I like the jacket you have.
I was gonna get one when it came out.
But the price I paid for mine was worth it.
Was discounted for meBetter than Shinki leather. Maybe in your opinion.
Really terms Flat Head double rider leather is winner of all. It’s turns head. Amount of praise I get unbelievable.

@Kasi
I’m super curious what makes the shinki better?Feeling? Looks? Quality? I’m genuinely curious, I don’t know about the difference
The Flat head shinki HH double rider is about €527 more expensive then the innovator in EU.
And they have slightly different design differences too.
But both very beautiful jackets for sure.We have a saying in Sweden:
“Smaken är som baken, delad”
Direct translation would be something like:
“The taste is like the butt cheeks, divided”
And not taste as tastes with your mouth hehe more your taste in things.
Like everyone like different things and are entitled to their opinion. A more common phrase used in English with similar meaning would probably be:” Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”
Both killer jacket, great looks and quality leather.
Iv never had any experience with shinki, but Iv seen it’s mostly used on the highest quality products and is very appreciated. So of course it gets me curious -
@mecken88
when I am not mistaken the difference is even more!
the Innovator is 1800€ and the Double Rider is
2700€ !
I have the fn-lj-hw001 version, and the leather used is my absolute favorite! It’s more a very dark brown than black . The newer hw004 version is deep black and the leather is different more like the Buco leather.
this is my one , on the second picture you can see the dark brown quite good.
-
you are so right, my bad Daniel
Don’t know how I could have seen that so
Wrong. It’s more expensive indeed.On German Stuf-f it’s €1.889,70 for the innovator and €2.835,09 for the fn-lj-hw004
So it’s €945,39 more expensive, so I was off with more then €400🫣
Both very beautiful either way
-
@mecken88
one more point for the Innovator, costs much less and is equivalent to Flat Head and Buco .
But if you get the chance to grab the fn-lj-hw001 from Flat Head ( I know there are still some new ones out there) , I definitely recommend that one when it comes to leather quality! It’s definitely something else , soft thick and oily leather and not shiny . Really unique for horse hide ! And as Mo mentioned, a real eye catcher
