I'm new here but thought since there wasn't much on Flat Head jackets I'd post up.
In my pursuit to buy my first nice leather jacket I started looking at used sites. I found a seller who had a jacket that might be just right for me from the Brand I was most intrigued with. Sure it was going to cost me 3 or 4 times what I was wanting to pay from a Chinese seller, but I could feel confident that his was truly a top notch Shinki-Hikaku Horse **** teacore jacket. I was a little nervous about the sizing as I did my best to measure every comparable jacket I had in my closet. Based on the dimensions the seller provided and the Flat Head website I believed this would be a pretty good fit for my body. Looking at it now I probably could fit one size down for my more narrow shoulders, but it would be a bit tight in the body which isn't really my comfort zone. I'm quite pleased with this jacket. It has a really wonderful aroma, and there isn't a thread out of place on the whole jacket. It's almost shocking how well it is executed. It is stiff enough to stand on its own. but after I wear it for a half hour or so it starts to give way and let move with more freedom despite the constant squeaks it utters. The only complaint I could offer is that the cut is wide in the shoulders, apparently by design. It does look the part though.
