Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

[SLAB]

Anyone know of a japanese shop which accepts international pre-orders for Fine Creek Leather jackets? Really want the Richmond S66...

Thoughts on Butterscotch's new Addict collab? Reminds me of a better version of the Schott Cafecto.

Damn I really like that. I want the pair of hand pockets instead of the D-pocket, but that is a really attractive jacket.

This is my modified heart-shaped D-pocket made of navy blue Shinki HH with wine red constrast stitching and lining. Made by a real artisan Greg Fields from UK. Stitching, construction, Shinki quality are on the same level as Freewheelers and Himel IMO

nice one Robert! He is certainly a craftsman at what he does. You mind sharing what you had to pay for it?

Thanks, SLAB. I actually paid 900 GBP for it. He sent me so many pictures (via WhatsApp) about every manufacturing step of my jacket....he was really picky with all details, etc. He also offers the service for doing a mock-up jacket first to check if all dimensions are 100% perfect. I actually gambled and didn't want him to make a mock-up jacket and was lucky enough that the fit was spot on at his first attempt just based on the measurements I provided him with. Greg is such a nice guy and easy to deal with.

Never heard of Greg Fields before. Do a good review with lots of pics here and on reddit blow him up.

Yeah, this is a real bargain. Pattern customization and essentially a step beyond normal MTO for free is kinda nuts. Craftsmanship looks really good.

Also, how did you come up w/ the idea for the D pocket? Really interesting design.

 

[sinnedk]

D pocket is a pretty common design

lol you asshole, I know what a D pocket is. That is an unusual D pocket. Been poking around my Lightning book again to see if I could find it on any of the old pics.

I hope @sinnedk knows I mean asshole in the most jovial sense of the word.

Greg Fields used to work for Aero Leather, UK for 8 years and then decided to start his own business with his goal to offer better stitching quality (I know for sure it is as I also own Aero Leather jackets and also Himel, Freewheelers, Rainbow Country, etc. and therefore do have a good comparison), highest quality leathers (Badalassi Carlo cowhide and Shinki and he also considers to introduce one of the best cowhides available from Tochigi), hardware and linings. Actually the smell and touch of his Shinki is pretty much the same as the black Shinki HH which is used by Freewheelers (e.g. black Brakeman coat which I own). Here is a link to his website:
