I'd love everything but the 2nd to last baby blue jacket. This, however, is particularly awesome:

Yup! And that Tochigi leather looks pretty sweet too.

Jesus, Mary and Joesph. I just realized this is hulk hide.

Yeah. I'd wear the snot outta that. That's a good green if I've ever seen one. Nice post SF. Very cool stuff here.

How did you order it? I see very little online in regards to how to order.

 

[Monitor]

Would buy, 10/10.

^ very cool pattern. Love the back drop.

 

[Justhandguns]

They are beautiful, just seriously doubt that they are easy to order.

I also wonder what sort of size ranges they can offer, I bet most of the people here will have problem fitting in these beautiful jackets......

Didn't have a problem with mine as opposed to RMC or Flathead, pretty sure it works for most of us

Post up, please!

Love the peacoat.

Can't really tell from only pictures but I have the feeling the leather is too thick for my tastes.

My camera battery was dead, so had to use the phone which is not ideal. I have to admit not wearing it enough... but this will be addressed

The colour is still bright red, just didn't come right due to the light I guess

Gorgeous jacket RD. What is the leather like in terms of weight, rigidity, thickness, drape, etc?

Sure! Actually got this jacket a few years ago when Tenjin Works was still relatively unknown. I was in Tokyo and wanted to get something no matter what. Went to RMC and Flathead and found that nothing worked for me, so decided to visit Tenjin Works.
The staff was very friendly, so I remember asking about the leather, and they explain to me that they chose their vegetable tanned cowhide specifically because of the way it ages. I went through the colours then tried one of their jackets, it just felt right and comfortable from the get go. Easy to move thanks to the action back (is it the right term?), and very comfortable.

The leather is feels very nice, heavier than RMC but nowhere near CXL. It's also soft and could not stand on its own, but still holds its shape quite nicely.
@Superfluous , sorry not good at describing leather yet, but this would probably be at your threshold in terms of weight. It is still comfortable and will age fast. I would say worth considering for you.
