    Johnson Leather Jacket

    The communication with Damon wasn’t that bad for me. It took two weeks for him to respond on my initial inquiry, but after that, almost everyday to sort out all the measurements and design details until I completely satisfied. Once we committed to the design, he knocked out the muslin very...

    JOHNSON LEATHERS IN SAN FRANCISO STATUS?

    Yea, that’s a good question to ask every leather jacket maker. I asked Damon about their business structure and he said that they still do wholesale for some brands in Japan. However, a majority of their business is still in retails. That Type 3 was size 38, so it’s a bit large for me, but I...

    Anyone know what buyee charges for cost of shipping a leather jacket out to the us?

    Follow up question regarding import tax and fee. If I purchase two separated items, $500 each, and choose to do combined shipping. Would the package be tax at $1000 for combined value going into California?

    @red devil can you take a picture of the label on your jacket? I saw one popping up in the used market and the price seems like a great deal. Just wondering if “it is too good to be true” kind of deal. Thanks.

    SOLD THANK YOU! Rainbow Country Seal Horsehide Size 38 Brand New with Tag $850

    @Canuck Panda what’s the fit on a car coat should be like? Very snug? Or some slack? After reading up on your posts and praises and sings on RC jackets, this car coat type peeks my interest haha. A size 34 measurements would fit me very snugly like the FW Little Wing, but no layer. A size 36...

    Looking for my first leather jacket

    That’s what I thought when I saw his pictures on Instagram. The jacket, the outfit, the person all look fine, but when all of that combined, it’s a bit off-looking.

    Freewheelers Purple Little Wing

    Thanks. It fits well and feels much more comfortable now that it’s kind of broken in and conform to my body a bit. When I first got it, it was very tight in the chest. And with that many panels in the front/chest area, and it was so stiff that it kept hitting me in the chin lolz. Only one thing...

    Don, when you handled their Phantom black leather at JL shop, how does it feel? And is it stiffer vs. Shinki vs. CXL?

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Damon and I started with the DEL-66 template for sizing and idea, after all the modifications that I asked for, I think that the end product will look similar to the Aero Highwayman (even though I didn’t know how the Highwayman looks prior to my order with JL haha). And that’s why I’m anxious to...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    When it comes to Shinki leather, you almost always dumped such rich information and opinion on it. I have been looking at your jacket on JL Instagram post almost everyday, just wondering what my jacket will look like in Nov/Dec. I’ll keep on digesting your post until then
