Just blown away by this! Y2 Leather Scar Kakishibu chore shirt from The Shop Vancouver!🤎

Wanted to share a little story about my Scar Kakishibu🤎

”Iv had a hard time posting this, I don’t know how to write and give this one justice, and my road for me to been able to obtain this. It’s a bit of a story.

It all began a few years ago when I found out about engineers boots and particularly Wesco boots. I like to learn, search and pretty much educate myself about stuff I’m interested in. So I look online, at pictures, reviews, videos, and asking people on instagram the dumbest question there is just because I love to learn. So hours of internet browsing I found myself looking at videos on YouTube. I quickly both found out about and realized TJ at the shop Vancouver was/is one big gem in this world. His dedication, professionalism and genuine personality showcasing the stuff he was personally invested is blew me away. I love creative people and passion in general. With a background in snowboard and developing, forming, and evolving into a motorcycle inspired heritage workwear business. I was hooked. TJ is the man! His knowledge, personality, and lovely character made me love him too! I knew I wanted to support him someway and someday own a piece I could love for years! Through TJ I then learned about Y2 Leather and their stuff. I quickly fell for them as a company, quality and the stuff they made! It was an art form! Quality, function, esthetically beautiful pieces of wearable art! And the dream was born! I needed one myself!

I early fell for the Kakishibu leather, I just loved the color of it. But my style has always been drawn to the slightly more workwear/chore coat inspired jackets. So in the back of my mind, I even in the beginning said to myself, that leather would been amazing in a workwear styled jacket. A few years passed, and one morning skrolling on my phone, my heart stopped.
TJ had teased about an upcoming collaboration piece with Y2 leather called the “chore shirt” in a rough out camel colorway. A jacket build on Y2 leather work shirt, but dressed with a chore jacket layout.

It was the right layout, but in the wrong leather. I never stopped dreaming and thought if only the KB-140-T and the chore
Shirt could make a love child, it would be my absolute dream jacket. A chore shirt in a Kakishibu leather. Imagine the pure amazingness!
More time passed, and same as before, one morning waking up and scrolling on my phone. I had to sit up, I probably held my breath for a minute. Before bursting into excitement! There it was, I couldn’t believe my eyes! It was a chore shirt in a Kakishibu color. Also now lined with an added interior pocket. It was too good to be true! It just had to be mine!

I had saved money for over 2 years, manifested the dream for real one year, and waited 7 months for my dream to be made into reality!
On the first released I missed out and was devastated. But on the 19 October 2024 I managed to buy a preorder slot for 2025 release. Out of just 10 preorders and 15 total jackets made. I remember holding my breath and waiting for the phone to buffer through the payment. Felt like the world stood still. And in a few seconds that felt like an eternity the payment went through! I could not believe it, I was awake alone in the middle of the night just for the occasion. I remember I couldn’t sleep that night because I was so happy. Filled with emotions and excitement I had finally managed to create this opportunity and make it into a reality! 7 months later, I opened the package and there it was, my dream! The Scar Kakishibu chore shirt in all its glory and it was mine!

This is a jacket that means so much more to me than “just” being a jacket. It’s a dream, an accomplishment, a for ever piece maybe one of my kids get to inherit when they grow old enough. It’s a jacket I will wear with love and pride more than anyone could probably ever understand. It’s pricy yes, but worth every penny? oh hell yes! This is my dream! This is my jacket! And I’m damn proud of it! It’s a few pictures showing how it looks after some weeks of wear and sunbathing in the hot Swedish summer heat. Last pictures is to showcase how light the color was straight out of the box.
This became a smaller novel, but I feel like a text can’t give it justice for the meaning and how it actually feels in hand. Thanks TJ for being an absolute gem of a person! And thanks to Y2 leather for creating some of the most impressive pieces iv ever had the honor to experience.

This will be loved for a long time, and I will wear it with pride!🤎”

Two and a half months since I got it🤎
Scar Kakishibu Chore shirt.

Picked up my 295ib today! What a gem of a shirt!
Well worth the wait!

Not the IH collab, but it’s the Ship John Derroll boot. It’s great, my favorite boot for sure!

Almost don’t remember my Derrolls when brand new and looking like that
But a few funny comparison pictures of what’s on the horizon when worn a lot🤎

Some Kakishibu vibes before work! Hope everyone having a great day

My brown Wesco Mr Lou CXL🤎

@FlavourFade

Had to re-read the thread just from pure excitement I missed the last restock of the 444 in November at EastWest.

Jamie put me down on a waiting list for the next batch in a few months away.

But got curios how the boots look and feel now when you have owned your Attraction some weeks?
Have they met your expectations?

@Denimhead-0 yours look amazing too man🫶

@Shane-B beautiful 🤎

@Larkens thanks brotha! I love these darn boots! Guess it shows🤎

@FlavourFade I think the same almost identical boot as the Iron Heart model they last released. But this is the Ship John X Wesco Derroll Roughout British Tan Domain leather boot

Some Ship John X Wesco Derroll boot appreciation

Got them back in January 2024, and the second picture is taken yesterday! Almost everyday use. Love these darn boots!🤎

@hjl360

@hjl360 thank you! Been my almost everyday worn boot since a got them back in January 2024🫶

Some Thursday Derroll boots for you🤎

Anyone here in the group that owns the denim Ramblin jacket?

I’m excited about its return and hope I’ll manage to buy one. But curios on the cut and general feel of the jacket.
So if anyone owns it unwound love to hear your view, opinions of the jacket?

Hope everyone had a great weekend🫶
