Hi
Can anyone tell me why japanese made A2 jackets like Buzz Rickson or Real Mccoy are so popular and high priced?
They may be well put together but there are also a few points who doesn't justify this prices. The leather has nice colors but looks... um... unexciting, it's mostly smooth throughout and lacks character like old ELC ones for example. There are often liners and knits attached that seem pretty off in color, details are not as accurate as on other top tier makers, they often don't even have original maker labels...
You can find this jackets all over the internet but always similar or higher in prices than ELC or GW, BK.... etc.
I simply don't understand that hype.
