Amazing jacket

Yes, it is. Probably as nice a Horsehide Cafe racer as you can find, new or old.

To illustrate the difference between the 2016 and 2021 shinki hh batch for FW, here are a few photos. I personally like the outer appearance of the earlier 2016 batch better. It reminds me more of the original jackets from the 40/50. Of course, this is always a matter of personal taste. But i can well imagine that FW is currently, as mentioned, not getting leathers that meet their expectations.

Do you have your dates back the front? It looks like you lost grain, is that possible?

Different hide and my best Aero pattern (I know we both enjoy the brown hides as well as the black).

While its definitely not the beautiful graining of my 618HH (prev posted)... sometimes the one-star is the OOTD and a great jacket developing character nicely ...

I'm not the first owner, so I don't know exactly when this one was made, but I assume it was at least 15 years ago. However, I believe you can find the equivalent today.
