Cool info. Any idea the quantity of brands this "Eight" factory sews? Like do they do Flat Head's leather as well? It sounds like there must be at least another very competent factory in Japan since RM uses someone else and they still make extremely high quality jackets.

Also thanks for the info about Rainbow Country and how that brand relates to all this. I wasn't sure if RC was an off-shoot brand of Freewheelers or what but that clears that up.
RM is currently making leather jackets in house.

Not to derail a FWs thread, but does anyone knows who makes the leather jackets for Timeworn Clothing / At Last & Co?

Looks like a great fit
I got the new Muholland in SZ 42 rather than the 40 that I previously bought. (Traded the 40 for a black FW sunset in SZ 42)
The 40 looked great on, but was uncomfortable tight.
Here is the Muh42:

I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. This is the teacore version from Corlection.

I’ll post up a pic of the Sunset later. It’s pretty cool. Really soft deerskin.

That looks like a great fit, congratulations! May I ask what your measurements are (chest, height, weight)? Thanks in advance.

I’m late to the party, but figured it’d be fun to throw a few pics up. My apologies in advance, my mirror is a little dirty (kids threw something at it).

Centinela (deerskin) sz 44

Note 1: The Centinela actually sits at or just slightly below my belt when my arms are resting down, but the bottom lifted a little while I was doing the selfie. It’s a much tighter fit than the Mulholland. I also gained some of that Covid-19lbs.

Note 2: I’m 6’3”, 220lbs

That Mulholland especially fits you very well. This style is great especially if you have some upper body size. Both jackets are winners on you brother!

Thanks for sharing. Mulholland looks super but the centinela looks like it is tailored to you. Great score!

^^^ Aquaman Jason Momoa is that you?
Ha, no. My wife may wish that were true, but the only thing I share in common with that guy is the jacket.

Thanks, dude! I always felt like I could work more on my chest, but there is also a point where I would end up selling a bunch of jackets if I change my current dimensions too much.

Thanks! I think the Centinela, when done with deerskin, is very flattering with an ever so slight stretch along with a tapered look, so it makes the jacket look a little more tailored than horsehide would.

Bravo on the Deerskin Centinela! If I did not already have one in Rude Black, I would have reached for the deerskin version!

I would love to find a Guthrie, especially the vest. But I don't think the jacket or the vest would fit me as the largest they ever made was a 40... Hmm... Maybe I need someone to make me one...

@MemphisBlues they both look fantastic. Beautiful jackets. I'd love to try a Centinela sometime.
Thank you! I actually wasn’t planning to buy a Centinela, I walked into Desolation Row hoping to grab a Brakeman or a Switchyard instead. But they didn’t have my size in stock, but the guy there suggested I try the Centinela for shits and giggles. That’s a dangerous recipe when you have money burning a hole in your pocket and you find yourself suddenly in love.

I see a few deerskin floating around from time to time. Maybe a good deal will pop up on Buyee or eBay.
