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 scar Kakishibu chore shirt appreciation! Took it out from its winter rest. The weather has changed so much in the northern part of Sweden recently, so it could finally be back in the rotation!🤎

@myk1098 yeah same for me! My Large waxed and Medium broken twill, fits very similar! Very happy I sized down

@myk1098 Man, it’s been hotter then hell over here a few days! And on top of that we have family on visit for a week. So haven’t had time for myself to take a solid picture.
But I’m gonna try to fix something:)

This medium (one size down from my regular) I think was the right call for me in this particular version! Such a great jacket! Looking forward being able to wear it all the time!🫶

Oh my dang, I’m in love!🫣🫶

Paid the Swedish customs yesterday for my Ramblin jacket, and it got released to further shipping to my destination later the same day.

So I’m hoping it will arrive before the weekend. But I’m prepared it can very well take to next week. Some shipping really takes for ever when it’s been through customs….

For those that washed it, did you soak, wash, cold wash, hot wash.. what did you end up trying?

And Mike wrote “extreme minimal shrinkage” is that your experience too? Or did it shrink more then we was told to expect?

@Northman outstanding man!! Looks amazing! Fit looks to be on point!🫶

@Northman difference with DHL E-commerce hehe, don’t think mine even left the US yet

Looking forward seeing people’s fit pics when they have gotten their new Ramblin

@Nobunaga congrats man! Nice you has a good experience and liked the jacket!
Really looking forward mine too!

@Northman yeah I was way too quick to look at the different shipping alternatives hehe

Didn’t wanna jeopardize missing out being too long in the shipping alternatives option. Don’t know why they chose DHL eCommerce this time. The past times iv ordered just the same it’s been USPS.

Oh well, it will turn up eventually
