It is definately that Julius lamb nubuck from FW09. That selvagejean link was my thread from either SZ or sufu btw.

Hi all. Posting for the first time on this forum. Very interesting thread - been reading/watching it for a while. So many truly incredible jackets - inspired me to get myself a new one and today I bought it - calf high collar Incarnation http://www.project314.com/shop/mens/outwear/leather_jacket_13.html
It was a good bargain I believe - approx. 1000 US dollars. Look forward to hearing what you think of it. Cheers.

I've got it already (not an online purchase but directly from the shop). I will take pictures and post later on.

Ok, time for some major thanks to Brad-t.

I've been wanting this KK Attachment jacket in brown for a long time, but it seemed completely sold out. When I asked about it in the Attachment thread months ago brad-t spotted one at a Russian store called Project 3,14 but the price was way too high for me (>$3k). Then a month or so ago I happened to check the store again and it's on sale, in my size no less.

After receiving it today I would say it's now my favorite jacket. The leather they use (from Guidi) feels amazing.. super soft yet substantial, with a nice grain you can feel. I think it fits great, and I love the minimalist style.

Here are some detail shots of the leather. The seams on this thing are incredible.. instead of a traditional seam with a folded edge inside for the stitching, the leather is just matched edge-to-edge and sewn using a series of very tight loops. It makes for a completely flat seam - no edge whatsoever. I'm guessing this is not nearly as strong as a traditional seam though. It feels solid when you tug on it, but I wouldn't go much further. Riri zips are great and the sleeves get a nice silhouette when the cuff zips are open.

THANK YOU brad-t

Looks incredible. Is it lined?

It's unlined except for the sleeves which have a very thin lining of cupro so you can slide your arm in and out easily.

I was browsing through Yoox, and I came across a few leather jackets that potentially look interesting - wanted to post here and get your thoughts about them.

All 3 of these hover in the mid $400 range.


These first two come from a Yoox no-name brand called Vintage De Luxe (haha).




And this one is from another brand I can't find any info on called Jey Cole Man



I am looking at getting a decent, but moderately priced leather to start things off. Currently TOJ doesn't have any of the styles that I like - extremely minimal/sleek in the vein of Attachment, Incarnation, Devoa (however I just don't have baller income yet).

A few pages back, Tellure modified a jacket from 10Sei0Otto which I think is really nice (and I found it online in my size!) :



And Yoox also has this one from 10Sei0Otto:




All things being equal, which would you guys head in the direction of?

Really sorry for being pic-heavy and asking such a generic question - I just need some advice/help since this is a fairly large purchase for me. I really appreciate any help you'd be willing to offer.

Return shipping is only $6 so it might be worth your while to just buy a few and return them if it doesn't work out.

 

[Festus Williams]

in that case please let me have it so I can copy, manufacture out of infinitely inferior materials, then sell for a retail markup that makes $10 gin and tonics seem reasonable. if there's anything we've learned from uggs is that the masses lacking any sense of taste or style makes somebody one rich bastard!

but I have to ask... who makes it?

See SUPER DRY

 

[Raw Selvedge]

All the fit pics of 10sei0otto leather jackets I've seen look kinda boxy and doesn't seem to have a nice fitting cut.
This one looks promising, looking forward to seeing how it looks worn.

The first one looks fine but it would need a closer look to the leather quality.
