Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

[Friend]

Anyone ordered from Himel Bros recently had shipping issues to the US with them? Not for a leather jacket thankfully, but I ordered one of the camp shirts in July and it still hasn't shipped (been in touch with their support who mentioned they were having issues with a new shipper, but last comms were a month ago). Not a shirt I'm in a huge rush to get or anything, but not the standards I'd expect from them.

3 months is not what I'd expect from any one outside of custom.

That’s ridiculous, tell them to cancel and resend.
Otherwise, contact your credit card provider.

Can you get someone to take a photo of the back?

It's not a one piece back, if you are curious

Here is the back…

Thanks - what are your views on the back? I'm looking for a much plainer back myself but I love the front!

Look at the Aero Premier Highwayman, IMO it’s got the coolest back of center zip jackets while being pretty simple. Front looks pretty much the same but pattern might differ. It fits quite tight so sizing up is prob a good idea, also the standard sizes might be too short for some; bear in mind there’s a non-Premier version that’s much looser (and back is not as cool).

The RMC Nelson has a one-piece back

@Malthus101 I really like both the front and the back. Yes, if you are looking for a plainer back, then you can go for some other option like the Rainbow Country Speedster for example (I really like the quality and the fit of my RC jackets). Here are some shots of my RC Hercules in seal brown colour.

So you have the same jacket in black AND seal brown?

 

[Malthus101]

As for the Rainbow Country Speedster, I actually don't want a cafe racer style. I feel the Original Hercules is not 100% cafe racer. (the colars for example)

I really want an "all occasions" jacket and I feel the Original Hercules with no front pocket is the one:

 

[Cskarev]

@Malthus101 yes, I have the Hercules in both colours. They are quite different in terms of feel and finish - the black one is teacore dyed while the seal brown is aniline. The leather feels different and I can really feel a difference although we are speaking about the same brand and same jacket model.
