Leather jackets

@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

@Cskarev all of your Rainbow Country jackets fit like they were made for you.
-
@NickD that’s why I am big fan of the brand, my friend! The fit is just so good!
-
Mine are more like Shackets
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!
Well worn denim & leather is a journal of life.

@Denimhead-0 nice selection of western shirts!
-
@mecken88 I suppose the closest place to you would be Wardrobe 19, but yes, that’s a long way to travel!

@indigo_fades thanks man! I really appreciate it! I wear the jacket a lot, can probably tell by how it looks haha! Wear it all the time when I can🥰🫶

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:
