Fourspeed jacket with raglan sleeves. Don't seem to come across this particular model for this kind of price very often. Size 40.

So so tempting. I have too many jackets, but this is really making me contemplate selling one and replacing with this

When in doubt, it’s usually a no. But we are all enablers here. You can just sleep on it, and if you still want it the morning after, get it. The worst that can happen is spending some effort to sell it.

Currently it’s 5% off on FJ but here’s another code for mercari jp items through FJ, and you could still ask for another 10% off from the seller although it isn’t a gimme but the seller could bite

Interestin two tone jacket. Never heard of 1% leathers before. Seller suggested it might be made by the old RMC (i.e. the Few?)


RMCNZ/the Few would have had a small tag that says so and another tag that says “made in New Zealand.” That doesn’t look like any of the RMCNZ/the Few I’ve seen.

Here’s a different jacket by 1% leather, you can translate to get more info:

Interesting, this link says it's made by Blackmeans, a more fashion focused punk style brand. Most of their stuff is the long and slim cross zip jackets.

The seller of that 1% also said that the side adjusters remind them of Real McCoys, but that's pretty random and I agree it doesn't look like early RMC or The Few that I've seen.

Very tempting. Don’t have anything in this style. Any experience with four speed? How does it compare to some of the other top Japanese makers?
I've got two Fourspeed crosszips and they're among my favourite leather jackets. They're well put together, have good range of motion and I like the grainy cowhide used. Very happy with them.
