@Mghart Any idea if Freewheelers will ever reissue the Mulholland in brown?
Good question and tbh, I don’t recall the last time they’ve ran it. I’ve only see the black iterations they’ve done last few years as they have three different black leather processes they use on their jackets.

New TWC season started a couple weeks ago and I got my first package today. Nothing really worth posting, just a shirt and some socks along with another belt lol.

I got a pair of warehouse 1001xx recently (would highly recommend) and I'm not sure if I should care enough to find a place that offers chainstitch hemming with 100% cotton thread or just send em back to Self Edge to have them hemmed with poly core thread.

Do y'all think that's something worth caring about?

I actually just got a pair of 1001xx as well. I kinda whiffed on the 800xx and didn't size up enough and they were just slightly uncomfortable so thought I'd give these a try- and like you I'm a big fan. FWIW, I ordered through BEARS Japan and they offer free chainstitch hemming with any order if you give them your preferred length while ordering. I don't think the thread is much worry, so I'd probably send it back to SE.

Got it, small fits, I’m happy.
To be clear, I’m not having small fits, the small size that I purchased, fits me fine.
?
Ach, after a few hours of wearing the jacket I’ve found that the pits become too tight. Unfortunately Hinoya will only accept exchanges (fair) and will expect me to pay shipping both ways (hurts, but ultimately also fair).
Anybody looking for a small size BR N1, only worn for a few hours by a little old man?

Reply from Freewheelers:

"Unfortunately, we're releasing only black <Mulholland> jacket this season.
Hopefully in the near future!
We hope you look forward to it."

That means “perhaps in the next few years”.. seems the other jacket models regularly get the brown/red tone leathers

I’ve moved away from the N1 option right now but that looks great.

Some day I may buy an N-1. I love the design. It just commpetes so much with other mild weather wear.
