dont mind the LH jacket D, although the leather looks really thin, is that the idea? I think the zip placement is similar to the julius style so its probably not a bad substitute.

that being said, it's not that different than the V&V moto

[DJI]

good point guys, no point settling on a piece purely for fit :\

they go on Y for around 60K-70K yen so could work as a beater, however as you mentioned wept I'm not really sold on the leather or the angular-ness of the fit in the shoulders.

fuck it, I'll just hope that _7 and LM hear my prayers then .

[DJI]

apparently the leather is quite substantial T. thing I don't like about the current V&V moto is the placement of the zippers and the vintage detailing. guess I should just have patience that something better will come along...

what do you guys think of the lithium homme moto collar? I like the simple style and the shoulders aren't padded like I initially thought, looks like it may be one of the few jackets in that style that runs slim enough for my liking too (size 0 ftw haha).

reeeeally diggin the minimalistic design on the jacket.. on the runway pic the shoulder looked like it's padded..dint like it either..but maybe because the sleeves are pushed upwards? hard to see.. need to wear it live i guess

[DJI]

some better pics of it been worn here (with kodiak stance haha). thing is the leather looks really nice in some of the pics, but almost plasticy in others :/ . still, for under $1K it might be worth considering....

[fenrost]

imo, if its under 1k def worth considering. one of another reasons i liked it because fit jacket like this imo need double zippers.. which i find most don't have it unfortunately.

++ i notice most japanese brand like VA julius LH etc tend to have double zippers whilst RO and the likes mostly don't.. ??

The runway pic looks realllly bad D, but the 2nd Cabane images look worthy of purchase. mmmmm up to you, but I say wait until new V&V jackets to see what is on offer..

[Pandemonium]

double zip is such an american thing though. weird yo.

I dunno D i still think its a waste.

Why spend 1k on something so-so. May as well double it and get holy grail.

I strongly disagree on copping this jacket

Obscur is only 50% more and on another level...

Unfortunately none of those motos exist in a 44... 46 is the smallest size they were ordered in. Tuchuzy just took a restock with sizes up to 54 though! Pending delivery of a couple more ordered jackets, my custom-produced leathers are all used up, so its officially the end of collection one =)

There were 7 jackets in collection one, 6 of which went into production. Next collection has 17 pieces for men, so I think its safe to say we're just at the tip of the iceberg...

[btbam]

show me some samples

[James Vincent]

Hahaha! As soon as there is something worth showing, I'll do so =)

[jbone]

17! geeez nice job JV..

D, you're doing what i was doing, buying for the idea and fit.. wait off for sure

[034936]

strange seeing DJI being disabled for once. Usually you take care of that for yourself!

[selkies]

james ive had so many compliments on your leather

[btbam]

D is vulnerable and sore after his RO kop, hes not making precise decisions. We all need to support him through this time and not let him make silly/mistaken choices to sooth his hurt self.

[jbone]

^ahaha spot on...

whats the new pic of bt?

[wept]

aww. goth ninja HUGS for all!

[melvin7]

whoa JV 17 pieces?! that is insane. really looking forward to it.

i've also had lots of compliments thrown my way when I wear my seacoat out

D, I would pass on the LH mangz.. wait for V&V - blackened red sounds tasty.

[btbam]

^ahaha spot on...

whats the new pic of bt?

macabre

[James Vincent]

If my new collection is 7 months away and D wants a jacket for this winter, its not really a comparison =) Lad's sizing/fit will be right on for D, and while there is some things I would do differently on that LD moto, it's a good, clean example of a classic.

why dont you guys get on the TOJ varsity? im probably gonna pick one up, maybe 2

[Flock]

I really really really really really really wanted one. I have no money at all though now, hopefully he will still be producing them in a few weeks so i can get one.

[Tyro1]

I'm, planning on grabbing a black / white tonal varsity from dis. Black body with white sleeves, ribbing to match the sleeves / body as opposed to contrast

[btbam]

pics plx

[034936]

i am seriously considering copping a grey or navy body w/ white sleeves. Not sure if i could pull it off is all.... the price is hard to argue with.

[btbam]

link me up mangs

[50_lions]

varsity jackets. hmmmmm... I suppose a really fitted one would like kinda cool. Still not keen on looking like a jock though. I think this is the jacket they are all talking of bt:
