Anybody have experience with Y’2 leathers?

That's interesting. The two type 3's I have in 40, have measurements more aligned to this

I actually own and am selling a 38 Type 3. The shoulders and chest fit similar to the 38 type 2 but the jacket length and sleeves are both shorter.

38 Type 3

CHEST: 21 1/8"
SLEEVE: 24"
SHOULDERS: 18"
LENGTH: 24 3/8"

Anybody picked up the Sumi-dyed double rider jacket?

How did it age?
How does it fit?
Anything unique regarding the sumi-dyed horsehide ?

I'm 5'.9" and 169 lbs and thinking of getting a 40.

I'm debating between this and the J-24L from McCoy.

Looks nice. A lot of their riders have the ugly split seam in the back.

Price is pretty high.

From my exp in the japan second hand market, the y2 don't hold their value as well as rmc/fc/fw.

I own the Sumi double riders, fits just slightly larger than a 40, more like a 40.5. The hide of this thing is beautiful!

Check out the Japanese market (fromjapan or buyee). Size 40 is in the sweet spot. You can find (relative) deals all day.
