The TB-139 3rd type jacket from Y’2 Leather is quite simply a stunning jacket. It is one of those jackets that, if you like the style (and even if you don’t really) looks and feels great the moment you put it on. The combination of the extremely supple lighter weight leather, the tone, the roughness of the suede and the ever so slightly worn in look makes it a real winner. The fit is fantastic too! Think we like them?
The Steerhide suede/ rough out (rough side out) leather is 1.3 mm in thickness making this a medium weight leather (Lighter to medium) that is very pliable, immediately comfortable and not restrictive at all. There is zero break in required. It feels like a heavy suede shirt but much more robust. It’s a great leather, has a very high end feel, beautiful shade and will look great when aged.
It’s a great fitting jacket and one that feels and looks great layered up or down. It is well proportioned all over, keeping with the traditional denim jacket type fits. For reference Mr model is 5Ft 11″ on a good day, circa 87 KG’s, long in the torso with a fairly wide chest and wears a size 38. He could comfortably have worn a medium weight shirt but for heavier layering would want a 40 or tough it out/ give it some stretch until the 38 conforms and stretches a bit.
There are nice and useful details including 2 internal leather trimmed pockets, Nylon lined throughout with popper closures. 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!
