Leather jackets

new addition to my collection
a stunning Colimbo G-1 for Barnstormer Shop in Japan. actually never heard of Colimbo before
️ but my friend @dublinpremium DG
asked me if I want to buy it as it’s sadly too big for him . It’s made in the same "factory" as Rainbow Country and Freewheelers jackets.
the overall quality is outstanding, the stitching immaculate and the mouton collar has a great colour. The cuffs are thicker and much better made than from other premium brands like Buzz Rickson’s for example. But the leather is not only great , it’s absolutely insane!!
I’ve had or have a lot of leather jackets like :
The Flathead Double Rider , RMC Buco J-24,
several Double Helix and Y2 and latest from Freewheelers. But this leather not only surprised me , no it blew me away! It’s thick but already pretty smooth and nice to wear , it has a little shine but not too much and smells just wonderful. It’s absolutely top 3 if not more. en par with Freewheelers , better than Shinki from RMC if you ask me.
so here first pics:

@Daniel-San Now this is a awesome jacket.

Looks like a great fit on you @Daniel-San, congratulations.

Here is Rainbow Country Hercules in black. Probably my best fitting jacket. Shinki Hikaku horsehide is just so good.

@Cskarev all your pics you share taken from a camera and not a phone? All your pics are excellent quality
-
@wjw yes, all shots are taken with a really good combination of camera and lens. No phone pics recently.

Thurlow Leatherworld deerskin rider’s jacket. Made in San Diego, CA and bought in 1989. The cut is heavyweight steer hide custom made for me by Johnson’s Leather in S.F. CA in 1997 (iykyk). I’ve ridden thousands and thousands of miles in all kinds of weather wearing these. That vest was initially a deep blue color. It’s been sun bleached and weather worn to the gray you see here. (This photo was taken yesterday.)
