I love that show. It's probably my favorite show that is currently running. I'm impressed how they have tried to make the show more scientifically realistic in a lot of ways and made that actually make the show more interesting instead of more confusing and/or boring.

That fabric is indeed amazing. I have a pair in the same fabric (I have the corlection version) and I wish they weren't so tapered. I'd actually wear them if they weren't.

You're welcome! I'm sure he will be able to help out a lot more.

It's a nice jacket. I've seen that model in person when I went to Moto a couple years ago in Japan. The leather does look quite nice. Moto tends to do a great job choosing and finishing their leathers. Construction quality looked solid, though not as elaborate or beautiful as some other makers. I think it's weird that it doesn't have a chest pocket, but that's a personal preference. Right now, I have boots and gloves from Moto/Motor and they both punch well above their price range in my opinion. My guess is that this jacket will likely do the same at 120,000 yen, especially in regard to the leather. You could also talk to Mike @wildfrontiergoods on Instagram. He knows the brand very well and could give you a lot more info on this specific jacket than I ever could.

I grew up in the '90s, but I've never actually seen that show even though I know the name

Yeah that looks like it is embossed the same way as my jacket is. The only difference is that leather actually looks black while mine is actually dark brown. Be careful though. Mine was labelled as "black" on every website and it's definitely not actually black. I cannot say that I am a fan of the printed leather on my jacket. It's not ugly, but I would have much preferred a non-printed leather. I got my jacket because of the design and the fit and I love it, but the leather is by far my least favorite aspect of it.

I'm still here! I still read through some of the threads and like posts and such. I just unfortunately don't have much to contribute right now. Once I get my new CSFs, I will be posting those.

The length could be good for some people. I'm not a tall guy and have a broad chest so it wasn't great for me.

I handled and tried on a couple Orgueil leather jackets in Japan a couple years ago. They was pretty nice, but didn't tempt me away from Freewheelers personally. Unfortunately I only tried on. The cossack jacket was nice and I liked the leather more than the Mister Freedom campus, but the sizing didn't work for me. Was much too long overall. My shirt from Orgueil is fantastic and one of my absolute favorites though.

Great thread idea @Flash! I do not have much vintage at all, but I think this is kind of unique so I thought I would share it. It's an old Swedish M-59 jacket from what I think is the 60s or 70s, but I could be wrong. It was modified by a defunct store in England.

Absolutely! That's basically my uniform

that whole outfit is fantastic @srudy

I'm personally just against chunky chelsea boots in general. In my mind, Chelsea boots are fairly sleek. If I'm going to buy a more hefty laceless boot, I would just go with engineers, pecos/ropers, or a fairly subtle cowboy boot. I'm sure I'm in the minority here with my chelsea boot opinions, but I just would never go for those chelseas over his engineers.

Actually, with most McCoys jackets, the sleeves are even worse than with Freewheelers for me because the chests are crazy undersized, especially with the Buco jackets. I'm not sure why this jacket was so different, but I'm glad it was.

I'm OK with that becoming the new official logo.
