They’re like these dude. Just grab em and call it a day. They’re damn affordable and durable. + they look good. To keep it JE friendly, I paired it with this BM sail a while back.
is that leather sails? looks surprisingly good

Hoping for some Running from Vietnam influence... If I could go back, I'd double up on the OS Cropped Hoodie in Washed Black and buy 1 of almost everything else too LOL
You do know that he’s looking through archives of vintage clothing not archives of JE clothing right?

Leather Anorak

It’s dope. Just buy it. If you need to think about the price, it’s probably not worth it. I’ve been told they made like 30 on the first run between all sizes and colors. I can see why...the thought and implementation of this jacket channeled the beginning roots of this brand. As stated before, the leather is rigid and veiny / crackly. Much more rigid than anticipated. It holds shape well, and one concern is how the adjoining hood / neckline will break in over time. With more wear it could potentially get a bit floppy. However, unzipped and flapped over still is appealing. The cinches are similar to the Himalayan pant cinches. In all likelihood they’re the same, just didn’t check. When it gets chillier, I plan on retiring most of my je jackets and breaking this one in. I have a feeling the patina will be ?.

5’10 210 ish at the moment

I sized L, although I could have squeezed a M. If anything, it runs slightly larger. My issue is wide shoulders and it just wasn’t going to work as well zipped up.

Thanks for reviewing. Jacket looks dope. Post a fit! Would love to see how this fits on body. Debating between L and XL ( 6’2, 200).

Thx for the shots. Looks amazing.

Can you speak on the cinch cord quality? The cinch cords on regular himalayans etc feel really really flimsy.

Please help me with names as I am not 100% sure. First one is olive, but then sand and clay?

Same cord as the high shrunk nylon himalayans. I’m assuming all himalayans use the same cord. I can’t really speak on the quality, I’ve had no issues and nothing to compare it too.
