Y’2 Leathers….

[mention]Mizmazzle [/mention] My jacket is quickly changing from a light tan to a deep caramel and I hope it keeps getting darker and darker. Next IH order I make I need to buy some mustang paste to keep it supple after all the sun tanning I’d done to it. I assume this will darken it a little as well.
As for your complexion, that’s a tough call. Part of me says if you like it then who cares!

Such a bad ass leather.
Maybe I’ll start going to the tanning salon. Bronze myself and the jacket!!

I will add that black is easier to match than tan natural (or kakishibu). I have a limited number of shirts that work great with this jacket and some that are just ok. I still love it and really the only thing I’d change is narrowing the shoulders by a hair.

@Anesthetist just found this thread! So epic!
I was on the forum yesterday and found @endo ’s post on his indigo Double Helix. What an amazing jacket! Inspired, I started searching The Shop Vancouver’s page and decided I needed the Y2 Indigo Type 2…
But while I was there, I saw the freshly released Black Roughout Chore coat. And in a moment of weakness, I bought the damn thing! Size 42. Arrives tomorrow! Fit pics forthcoming.
But before I jump on the Indigo Type 2, may I ask your Height and weight @Anesthetist ? I just want to make sure I nail the sizing. FWIW, I’m 5’7” 175. Broad shoulders/chest, long torso, short legs. 32/31 in IH pants across the board. Thoughts?

congrats @Autorotate to the black roughout, looks amazing on the shops page
TJ made this video on the different denim leather jackets, by Y2 and Double Helix
-
@endo Thanks man! Yeah, I saw that. Gonna watch it again. Just trying to get as much first hand experience before I pull the trigger.
BTW, that WAYWT pic of your indigo jacket with the vest which was shot in the evening is such a cool fit and you wear that jacket so well. Also, I absolutely love the roughout tan Wesco’s. I really dig your style. -
@Autorotate That Y2 chore coat in black rough-out is really tempting me too - haven't been able to stop thinking about it! I'm looking forward to your photos. debating between the 44&46, but need to make up my mind quickly before they sell out
-
@leafscan18 you bet bud. It’ll give me a chance to dial in my shitty selfies.
-
@Autorotate appreciate it!

I’m 6’1 ish, around 173#, 41” chest, I wear a largish large or small XL in IH tops and am a 42 in Y2. The cut on the Type 2 is a little constricting to me around the upper chest, but it is still breaking in.
You’ll like the chore coat, the smell of the leather alone is amazing.

My Black Roughout Chore coat just arrived. It’s perfect. The fit is spot on for what I was looking for. I wanted to be able to button it up over a thicker shirt, but not be loose. I poured over the charts and watched all of TJ’s video from the Shop Vancouver.
I’m short and stocky. Not a good shape when shopping for Japanese clothing. But this jacket hits just right at the waist, about 1.5” below my belt line. Lots of mobility in the shoulder - and as you can see, fits over a Henley and my 805’s and doesn’t look or feel stretched. I totally love this thing!!
-
Yes sir, that’s the look!

-
@Anesthetist Awesome man! Thanks for your help and encouragement !
This is a pickup unlike any I’ve had in a LONG time. This will be worn to/from the gym, to walk the dog, out to nice dinners, on the moto, to my beloved Browns games, etc. the only thing it “might” share time with is that indigo type 2. Finger is hovering over the buy button as we speak.
-
@Autorotate wow great fit! congrats - it suits you well. Wow even all that packaging is epic
-
The indigo is unreal, I have a Henry in the Western Shirt and really love it. If money were no object I’d have 3-4 of them!
