Leather jackets

[mecken88]

I have one, the Scar Kakishibu chore shirt from Y2 leather in collab with the shop Vancouver. Hoping to add a black motorcycle styles jacket in the future. Have my eyes on the Double helix works innovator at the moment

@NickD yes sort of... but that's a whole big hornet's nest of debate tbh... There was a lot went on there back 15 years or more ago with Aero and Alexanders. Simmons Bilt are really their own entity rather than a morphed Alexanders. Fedora lounge has a detailed account of all that happened if interested.
Debs from Simmons Bilt is just the best customer service person you could want for

One of my Rainbiw Country jackets - this one is Hercules in seal brown colour

@mecken88 the Y'2 looks like it's aging nicely.

Plenty of choice in double rider style jackets, my advice is to see if you can try a few on to see what maker suits your body style.

@Cskarev all of your Rainbow Country jackets fit like they were made for you.

[Cskarev]

@NickD that’s why I am big fan of the brand, my friend! The fit is just so good!

@Cskarev Like the nice fit.

Y2 Horse and Steer
Black and Olive Buck

@NickD thanks man! Yeah I know would be a dream! But living in the northern part of Sweden not having any stores selling those types of jackets it’s unfortunately impossible. I think the closest is either Danmark or Germany.

Hard trip making as a parent of young kids still. So I depend on style, look, measurements and price range🥰
And buying secondhand from eBay is both scary and expensive ordering internationally.

My only leather jacket, was my late Uncle's. I don't wear it often because it's a little big on me and the wife isn't the biggest fan of me in a leather jacket.

@mecken88 This might be the best looking leather jacket I've ever seen. Perfect break in. Never really got into leather jackets much until last year, picked up a field jacket natural from MSC and even though I love it I'm looking for something more like this Y'2 beauty. Time to break out of an almost exclusively cotton wardrobe by this fall!

I agree with @indigo_fades.
@mecken88 that jacket is sick! All of these are!
Uh oh ….
