Almost pulled the trigger on a tweed Cunuck Railroad jacket, somebody buy the 40 before i get weak.

If the Pinecrest jacket were still there, I'd be on it like stink on a monkey

 

[Dickie Teenie]

The Pinecrest was the first thing i looked for. It was there for a short time but at the full $1350.

Bummer, the black Heron is a 36 :-(

Canuck is my size except for narrow shoulders.

I have found myself looking at his work really wanting one. They are expensive. I have only see 3-4 on ebay none of which were in my size. I would have a difficult time choosing among the styles. Aren't there Himel owners here? I'd like to see pics, hear people's thoughts. I would like to own one of his jackets.

They are stunning jackets. Dear as dear. The shoulders seem too tight for me, I like the Melton Canuk.
I could go for 4-5 of them.

Himel's jackets are first rate. The Shinki HH is my favorite leather -- the perfect balance of weight and character. Moreover, Himel's craftsmanship is second to none. I own two:

I agree, shinki at it's best is fantastic and breaks-in beautifully.

 

[Bunyip]

That brown Canuk floats my boat. Just lovely.

Yes, those are the jackets. It may be my favorite cut of his. Superb. Thanks for posting those pics again. I do read his vintage jacket page on facebook. He is a very talented/knowledgeable craftsman/artist. A conversation with him would be quite interesting.

I own a Himel Kensington cafe racer (got it off ebay.) I absolutely love the jacket- the Shinki Horsehide is my all round favorite leather... for my needs it's the right weight, has the most beautiful shade of dark seal brown, and the most stunning worn patina. The difference between the Kensington and my other cafe racers is that it's a bit longer in the body- more like the length of a Becks. And the sleeve zips have no lining. Just different cut and choices. All in all, a beautiful piece of workmanship and quality throughout. Here are some pics- I possibly posted a while ago.
