Lovely. What sort of coating does it have on it?

Himel Deer Heron (not mine):

Very nice; I would seriously debate this one with the Aero in natural Vincenza. I'm all for more shawl jackets, and especially in this type of hide. Can we all agree that the intellectual property rights on this style fall into public domain at this point though? I say, may the best fitted, best detailed, best constructed shawl collar cossack win!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: or to hell with a winner; they're all cool and worthy of a place

The guy just wants me to spend all my money.

Between him, The Flat Head/RJB, and engineer boots I could easily spend 100k in 1 year if I had the means lol.
That is too gorgeous!

I've always looked askance a bit at Himel because of the prices, but when I see jackets like these, well, what can you say? The jackets are just out of this world.

 

[Sloan1874]

Love it. Just couldn't see myself wearing it.

I think there are some jackets that Himel does that are a piece of art but I can't see them looking good on anybody. That last one is an example.

Switch black parts with blue and you got a lovely police jacket.

I've often been surprised by the difference between the way a jacket looks when not being worn and when worn. A good example is the Pegasus Luftwaffe Marseille: on its own it looks a bit over-the-top, but the shots of it being worn on their website create a very different impression.

His prices are actually not bad when the jacket isn't Shinki.

I think Himel does a great job making those art pieces. It sells his brand very well and gets people to buy the normal jackets haha.
