Black suede stooges. Has RO ever done regular suede before? Seems like it's usually blistered.

Definitely much better, your frame also suits the boxier and wider shoulder cut.

If anybody is looking for a stunning CCP high neck in bison leather, colour 19, sz46, drop me a pm.
It's a truly amazing jacket - immaculate condition and a beautiful skin.
As a reference, I'm a sz48 in CCP blazers.
Drop me a pm if interested.

From my experience, recent 5-zips aren't boxy at all. There's a pretty strong taper from chest to waist so they're actually pretty form-fitting. I think only the older iterations (with MRS zippers) were boxy. That said, the shoulders are generally cut slightly wider.

So my Zam Barrett leather arrived today. It is ******* awesome.

I guess it was a custom order––the "Inner Leather" model from a couple seasons ago, though with 2013's leather set. And the leather is nice. Heavy calf (like 5 pounds of it) with some serious grain, though with enough variation throughout the jacket to provide some ~visual interest~. I'm not really a leather kind of guy––I've only owned a lamb TOJ 2010DR and a paper-thin Damir so I can't really compare the leather. I will say that it's sliiiiiightly less supple and buttery than the TOJ, but it's still very substantial and just... good, though in a rougher way. Feels like a suit of armor. And if the arm creases I'm already getting are any indication, it'll break in beautifully.

Deets: Double riri zips, double zip pockets with recursive pockets within, two internal single zip pockets, zippers everywhere basically. Body is lined with heavy black cotton, sleeves with this cool slubby purple-green cotton. ****-off snaps on the cuffs. Irregular stitching on the placket. Overlocked seams throughout. Really nice construction, especially on the back.

I was a little worried, but all fears vanished as soon as I put it on. The overlocked seams are a nice touch, and though I'm not totally crazy about the red leather lining the pockets, you can't really see it. I've been looking for a high neck leather for a long time, and this is the perfect alternative to the busier designs of BBS and Rick. There's just enough going on. It's something you'd fight post-nuclear cannibal bandits in. Something for space nomads or cyberpunk street monks. It's a weird jacket, but it's also super wearable. To quote a certain styleforum fixture's immortal review of his TOJ:

"This jacket ******* reeks of sex."
​

Ok, maybe not sex, but this jacket definitely ******* reeks of flawless craftsmanship, execution, and really nice materials. Which is basically the same thing, right? also the leather smells really nice
