Y'2 Leathers….

@WhiskeySandwich Fits very nice. Lets see a back view.

Here’s a quick back snap on the fly lol
Really psyched on the measurements. It’s tough right now but with some break in it’ll be perfect. Def glad I went with the 44.

@WhiskeySandwich Right on.

@WhiskeySandwich dude that thing looks amazing. Congrats

[Mizmazzle]

@WhiskeySandwich KA-POW!!! That jacket is freaking dope!!! You’re just the man for the break in job on this one!!!

Is that a teacore leather?

[WhiskeySandwich]

Hell yeah thanks yall! I don’t wanna take it off. It’s a great piece. I appreciate all the kind words and will be sure to share the journey. I think the thing will get a lot of miles. Really loving the old school chopper vibe I’m getting from this thing. I’ve seen y’all dressing em up and looking mint, I like that it can do that and will surely have occasions where I do the same, but this is my kinda biker jacket

@Mister_Brue love that chore coat styling.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Mister_Brue I had my eye on the camel too, maybe down the road now that I have hands on this beaut

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.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@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.

[WhiskeySandwich]

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.

[Tago Mago]

@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 .

[WhiskeySandwich]

@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.
