Talking about some of the best ‘Made In Japan' leather jackets, you can not ignore The Flat Head! Their latest version of the single-riders jacket is inspired by the original 1940s vintage models and made to an even higher standard by their highly skilled craftsmen in their famous Stockburg leather studio!
The shell is made of a 1.3mm thick racing horsehide that is specially developed by Japan's most famous leather tannery -- Shinki for The Flat Head! It takes 4 ~ 6 months to finish its vegetable tanning process and its black uneven dyeing (a.k.a Black Tea-core Dyeing). With wear, you will expect some more beautiful sheen and also some reddish-brown underneath coming up little by little.
This jacket is lined with their signature lightweight kersey rayon, which is made up of bamboo fibre. The material is antibacterial and also makes this horsehide jacket more breathable on warm days!
Construction-wise, this jacket is finished in their leather studio -- Stockburg which has 'Leather Piping Construction' in the back yoke for extra strength. The back has twin iron buckles that allow you to adjust for different styling and layering in different seasons! The buckles are painted with brass, and with wear, you can expect both buckles will age to a crackled vintage look.
Fitting-wise, compared with the 1940s vintage versions, the sleeves are slimmer and shorter, and the body shape is more curved which fits perfectly for a modern fashionable look!
For those who are looking for an 'Only The Best' single-riders horsehide jacket, we guarantee this will amaze you!
