Then again, I was this close to buying a pair of leather trousers so...
I have not worn jean shorts since the first day of high school, and I've not looked back since.

Congrats, it looks very nice on you! How does it feel? Its high armholes are really cool feature but kind of specific, they should feel comfortable when sizing is correct.
What's the leather finally? John wrote in his ad that it's Horween (if I remember correct) but on photos it looks a bit similar to Shinki, though not as shiny as Shinki usually is. What do you think of the leather? How does this leather look and feel in hands? Is it more on soft and pliable side (like Shinki and Vicenza usually are for instance) or it's more on stiff and sturdy side of feeling? On photos it does look very nice! Anyway, this purchase has definitely deserved its very long trip from the U.S. to Australia, it was worth it!

Every time I think I've settled for the leather I want for my custom jacket, I see this black shinki leather, and I'm right back at square one, questioning what leather I should get.
Awesome jacket.
Thanks! I did get very lucky with this one. I think the leather being broken in already was a bonus. The grain and sheen on it is amazing.
