Agree with very high retail price of Freewheelers atm but it’s not true that they are not producing leather jacket now. From time to time they make jackets for Japanese retailers. Avenue just have a new stock of San Mateo.

I don't get it Marc, why is it silly to send money to have other country's makers to make American style clothing? Then probably at least half of the lounge members over here are silly - because they send money to Japan/UK/Scotland to make American style jacket.

Absolutely stunning jacket. Congrats man.

The Few D-1 made in New Zealand, hope to get toasted when I walk my dog tonight.

Thanks, you know where it is then hehe.

It’s nice to have a leather expert as a friend in your region. Recently I acquired couple of jackets, including one from @Marc mndt . Thanks for passing this amazing 50s/60s Schott to me. Difficult to find a jacket that fits me so nicely.
