Double helix

[mj2936]

Have done some research on this forum and elsewhere on them but thought I'd ask some long term end user opinions from the experts here! Are their leathers all from Nitta tannery? How does it compare to Horween Chromexcel? Heard fit is a tad on the smaller side??

That’s what they advertise

How does it compare to Horween Chromexcel?

Softer / more pliable than CXL FQHH from day one.

Heard fit is a tad on the smaller side??

It’s best you find one to try one on in store to see the fit for yourself. The numbers they posted are accurate within the tolerance. But they don’t post the hem or sleeve width those you’d have to see for yourself.

I agree it's best to try on a Double Helix or have someone measure the actual jacket you're considering. I tried on this model in Japan recently:

The 44 was too tight but the 46 fit me perfectly. The measurements on the website would suggest the 44 is a spot on fit.
