Y’2 Leather DR-45 Sports Jacket – Deer Skin
The DR-45 jacket from Y’2 Leather is our favourite from this years delivery. We asked Y’2 to modify their original pattern slightly by removing the hand pocket stitching to tone down the sports element a tad and give it a cleaner look (sports jacket meets single riders) and it came out great. Small changes to an already classic jacket look fantastic. thick Deer Skin it is perfect for the colder months.
The Deer Skin leather is thick (2mm thickness) but very pliable, it is really comfortable immediately. There will be no break in as it has a spongy softness but watching it break in and develop character, shape and patina will be the real treat.
In terms of fit, it’s great. Very well proportioned all over, not too boxy or tailored slim looking. For reference Mr model is 5Ft 11″ on a good day, circa 85 KG’s, long in the torso with a fairly wide chest and wears a size 40. He could comfortably have worn a flannel shirt/ thicker layer underneath with ease (take a look at the sizing info). The best description would be a jacket that fits and looks great in the right size that is not restrictive for arm and shoulder movement and that doesn’t look oversized. Hard to find!
There are details galore including herringbone wool/ cotton mix lined body, cotton lined sleeves, 2 internal leather trimmed popper pockets, universal zippers, heavy duty brass hardware and, very original for a sports jacket, a concealed popper to the collar to keep is close (A2 style) or open/ shaped like a sports collar. Nice!
It comes supplied with Y’2 branded quality jacket hanger and branded coat bag.
The finish, as is to be expected form a company that specialise in leather jackets from Japan, great. Very neat and all well aligned.
This is a lifetime jacket that will look and feel superb the more you wear it. Enjoy!
Take a look at the sizing tabs for advice on sizing.
The DR-45 jacket fit’s very similar (a tad smaller maybe) to traditional Western sizes and is well proportioned throughout. The “model” is wearing a 40 and it is perfect fitting. Due to the pliable heavy leather it doesn’t feel oversized or at all restrictive. He could comfortably wear just a t-shirt or layer up with a thicker sweater/ flannel.
The model generally takes a medium-large/ 16 / 38-40 in most Western sized tops, shirts and jackets.
He is 5ft 10-11″ tall (180 cm), medium build/ large chest, weighing in at roughly 85 KG.
Thicker leather jackets, particularly horsehide tend to crease up and shape the the wearer more permanently than softer thinner leathers so advice would be to always oversize slightly, similar to the model and it will shape to your body better without feeling restrictive.
Please see how we measure our products here and compare the measurements chart for this item against an item of yours that fits how you would like this to. Bear in mind that a horsehide jacket less pliable and giving than many fabric or soft leather jackets you may own so for ease of movement you might want to go for the larger size if on the fence.
