First Leather Straight From Japan - RAINBOW COUNTRY RCL-10072JOB SEAL.BR
It took a while to pick the right one for me in terms of color, leather quality, and brand, but then I made up my mind and pulled the trigger on this beauty. I opened the big box it traveled in today, and in person, it’s even more astonishing. It’s state-of-the-art leather and craftsmanship, and I can’t wait to live in it (with great care, of course). I decided to size up to allow for some layering because I have quite broad shoulders. The result may not be so historically accurate in terms of a slim fit, but I love it, and I’m sure I’m gonna pass it down through generations to come. That’s the best part of buying quality pieces at this level :)
EDIT - WHERE DID I FIND IT AND HOW DID I MAKE IT TO EUROPE (WITHOUT GOING TO JAPAN)?
First, I found a Japanese store that sold the jacket. Mine is an incredible place in Koryama, TIME AFTER TIME. I then used Zenmarket, and it was a first and truly great experience. I definitely recommend it if you want to buy stuff from Japan. I picked up the most expensive shipping option possible, because of the value of the goods, but for example, I bought a couple of cheap Japan-only Casio Watches, and I sent'em by post for a super cheap price. As far as the Jacket is concerned, prepare yourself for a hard hit in terms of customs duties. Beauty, unfortunately, most of the time has a price, and it's not cheap.
