Going to Osaka Japan next month. Where to buy leather jackets?

@Colin G thanks for sharing, it really brings back memories. I did the same touristy thing and basically visited the same place as you did lol

My Tokyo trip got rained on by covid last march (damn pandemic). The money I saved up from not going did fund my first few leather jackets. . .

@Jin431 we arrived back home a week or so right before a pandemic was declared and flights started to get canceled globally. The wall went up so we were lucky.

Good for you that you were able to visit. 2 weeks before my trip I already had a feeling that it will get cancelled cause the cruise ship off Tokyo bay was already being quarantined

When we were there one cruise ship in Yokohama was quarantined and that was it. After we returned home things really took off globally.

That was great and fortunate timing, as you were still able to go travel and have a real vacation. Cheers

bumping this almost 4 year old post for a question about leather jackets in Osaka.

I'd be visiting Osaka and Kyoto in June. From emailing a dealer (Organic Blue), I learned that his store is out of stock of what I'm looking for and some manufacturers are not delivering new stock until August+.

Perhaps other stores (excluding The Real Mccoys, which is outside of my budget) are similar when it comes to their in stock jackets. Is vintage the best bet at securing a jacket in Osaka in June?

Check out Acorn for vintage gems (expensive). Right across the street from Acorn there's Nats which has a more affordable selection.

Also check out the Schott store, they have some nice Japan exclusives.

In Kyoto you need to visit Capri and Homies.
