50s Swedish motorcycle jacket in the original goatskin&wool spec, pretty good deal for what it is.

This thing weighs more then my buzz N-1

It’s a long process on a vintage machine - I got one of the first 50 made and I think those took well over 50 days to make. It’s also a lot of expensive wool.

I like how they never elaborate on this sort of things in order to justify the price tag, definitely getting one if given the chance.

You’ll never buy Japanese goods this cheap again.

Say that again to the 400000 yen San Mateo😅

Their jean on the other hand are an absolute bargain for what it offered, keep me away from dumping 1k+ on those homemade artisan brands.

I’ve never seen anyone rock any of their stuff. It’s all insane expensive 

There's no surprise that non of their clothes sales.

The original Black Bear Brand outdoor workwear aesthetic are completely abandoned, instead they turn for this tacky biker hippie abomination. what a shame that is.

About 30 ish of wear on those, aged pretty well for non tea-core 😁

The recent Attractions Lot.602 with vibram sole are a good option, the last are wide foot friendly too.

Personally, I wouldn't bother with Brass Tokyo and their scarcity scheme.

Buckle are from a cushman belt that no longer fit.

what’s the benefit or upgrade here the Birkenstock boston?

To me the silhouette on the aforementioned brands offering doesn't look right, I wouldn't consider any of them an upgrade over Birkenstock as a pair of lounging clogs.

Shame to admit I choose Mccoy's out of sheer prejudice against the brand image.

@julian-wolf Material and comfort are top notch, worth a try if you paying for them in yen.

 The joining point of the upper and cork sole on the main pressure point of the arch started to peel off a bit, not sure if this is a thing on the original or just Mccoy using weak glue.

FW's N-1 does fit weird, the chest felt enormous on my size 42 while the shoulder sleeves and arm hole were slim.

This size L FW version on Yahoo measure at 29”

Planning on worn it over an two-piece or leather jacket that's sort of things, and 29" is plenty enough. just worry it will look a bit “contemporary” like what Mccoy has done to their parka line up. 

Opinions on the M-1948 PARKA? 

The sizes they offer seem a lot smaller than an authentic M48, an XL is near impossible to find by now.
