I think he called this one the 33. The quality is in the cut. It's also very nice wool, of which I can add not a lot was woven, apparently. As I recall it was cloned from an original 30s model that he owns Collar is a beautiful shape, pleats on back are cool too, jacket sits sweetly and is...
This one and the Arcadia are the jewels in my collection. One can go, one stays.
These pics are from when it was new. Since then it has broken in to perfection and glorious grain has popped all over. The horsehide on this is as good as anything I have handled. It's mid weight, probably 2.5oz...
Thought I'd start a thread on these guys since so far there's nothing. Please feel free to post up pictures of pairs you own or anything else about your experiences with this company
As per my understanding they have a few showrooms across Europe where you can view and try on only. Then you...
I'm talking about this one here

When it landed it was basically too hot to wear it almost immediately and it still is! So it's barely seen any wear. This is 3oz horsehide which is a little heavier than John's usual...
I wanted the 1927 beauty recently offered by @splintercellsz alas I think I was too slow.
Condition needs to be very good for me to be interested. This is intended to be worn as a winter overcoat, all colours can be considered
Sleeves will I hope be around 26" or if not then at least have...
I have two pairs of these. Photographed are the ones I wear. For sale are the backups, which have never been out of their box.
Payment by PayPal friends and family please. Asking price is £80 shipped for the UK. Overseas customers better ask for a shipping quote, more expensive for you I'm...
This is my all time favourite leather and if I could I would buy some in a heartbeat. Aero used it and Alexander Lethers/Simmons Bilt did briefly too. Why do I love it so? Well, it's substantial yet completely comfortable to wear because it's not too heavy and it has great drape plus the grain...
Asking price is 210 GBP plus shipping via PP friends and family please, or else buyer can add on the fees himself. I can despatch from England in early July.
I messed around with 5 samples of differing weights before settling on this one. I chose it because I like the deep indigo colour and...
850 USD by PayPal friends and family please. Or else add the fees and that's fine too. I can ship it from England in early July
Measurements:
Shoulders 18.5"
Pit to pit 22.5

I'll add some detail pics soon. The shinki is on the lighter side, perfect for warmer climes...
What is the protocol for bringing one back from the dead?
Can this type of 'patina' be undone?
With a very old jacket I would want to wash it. Presumably it might then need some conditioning? Is redying it a good option? And if so when and how?
It would be super cool if anyone who's done...
A few of the chaps have asked me for a thread. Here it is
The leather is a veg tanned sturdy yet midweight Italian horrsehide that I traded for some black Badalassi I had (I don't care for the squeaking). I got it cos I liked the colour. John told me he liked it too, and that this is good...
It's Shinki on the lighter side, not flimsy, but there is beefier out there. Basically well suited to hotter climes. In real life it looks virtually black, but it's in fact a very dark brown. Guess you'd call it dark seal. The camera can see the base colour, which is seal, but as yet there is no...
I'm not looking to splash big bucks on this so needn't be primo. Am just wondering what I could get for a few hundred gbp. I don't care what the brand is or how old as long as it's in good shape. Ideally I prefer shorter over longer. Also I am not interested in super heavy leathers
