This jacket is too small for me unfortunately, but I just wanted to chime in to say that I previously owned a SB J-100 in Shinki horsehide, and if this jacket is anything like mine, the construction, details, and - most importantly - the leather, were all top notch in my opinion. The Shinki was my favorite horsehide that I have ever handled - thick, robust, and it smelled amazing! This is a tremendous deal. GLWS!
Someone suggested SB no longer have shinki. Here is the original listing with crappy photo's. https://www.ebay.ie/itm/RJL-LTD-Shi...ket-By-Simmons-Bilt-BLACK-sz-44-/113840887117
My chest is 43 inches- fits me properly and trim. If your chest is 45 then it would be too tight. All the best!! J
Thanks! I agree- It is surprisingly robust and thick. I thought it would be thinner, but it is amazing.
We should wait one more week, we will get paid to take it xD It looks amazing. It is just not my size.
