This brown one is awesome. There is a black one in mint condition on eBay right now. It’s the one I am (was) contemplating. I need a 44. I tried a 46 a couple years back and it was too big. Thanks for the help.

Of all the jackets that I've seen, Bates has possibly been the most impressive in terms of engineering and functionality. Extremely high quality jackets. Little details here and there set them worlds apart from most makers.

Two day summer in Chicago has passed. Jesus H...but I also get to wear this bad boy for my Target run and done. The more I get to know this Bates it feels like it was probably these jackets that influenced the Joe McCoy deadwood (a grail jacket for me and one thats a bit more embellished with 70’s flair). Something like a hybrid CR/ car coat.
it has some great character too:

@ton312 Great looking Bates even if it looks different to the Joe Mccoy Deadwood (from time to time this jacket is offered on Yahoo auctions but mainly small sizes)...and btw. almost every jacket looks good on you! I think I'm just doing the wrong type of sports (racket sports, climbing and running) to make my body look like yours
...but then I would need to replace all of my leather jackets.

Thanks for the kind words Robbie. I really would love a deadwood. It’s such a great looking and unique jacket. I’ll keep the dream alive.

Aero halfbelt horsehide & indigofera jeans & nb
Thanks much! It’s the Shinki HH in brown (oil tan). I am very happy with the result. All is as specced and as should be. Will aim to do a full review over the weekend.

A thing of beauty and fits perfectly. Congrats!
Thanks, Robbie! Jacket is great! A lot of the specs are discussed in the latest episode Of “Himel TV”. Fit is good albeit pretty trim. Nothing, I couldn’t live with though.

Really cool! The reason I asked was that the leather looks more substantial on body than others I've seen, but that is perhaps because it's brand new
Congrats!Thank you! Much appreciated!
