Pigment vs Aniline Leathers (Surprisingly Different!)

[@sebastien_ta]

Thanks for the explainations, it’s the first time I really understand the key differences 😄 it might help a lot for future acquisition !

[@DudsByDel]

Thanks Sebastien, glad it helps!

[@tallnlankyrn]

[@ChandraChandra-wx9em]

They are so good and both look superb on you!

[@DudsByDel]

Thank Chandra! Really great jackets!

[@nathancreel8547]

Nice job! Definitely a well needed video. It took me a while to get to the bottom of the difference when I was originally looking. Also, I think you did well going pigment on the black and aniline on the brown. 😁👍

[@DudsByDel]

Me too man! Just was too much to take in all at once I think. And the choice was made by Rainbow Country for these leathers

[@EllisRPK]

Great video, thank you. Question for you... Do you have a preference to Japanese made or US made leather jackets? or any other origin for that matter. I have both US made and Japanese made and I love them both, but tend to have a bias toward the quality of Japanese jackets, so I am curious to know your thoughts. Thanks in advance

[@DudsByDel]

I do like both. My closet is a pretty good mix. I’ve also had jackets from Aero and Thedi which are both European makers. I think the refined meticulous look of some Japanese jackets can make them less preferable for some punk / rock n roll styles for example. Just depends on what you are going for

[@EllisRPK]

@@DudsByDelI agree entirely

[@GabeBushman]

If i were to get the schott 618, what size shoukd i get? Im about 135 at 5'7

[@DudsByDel]

Do you know your chest measurement? Around the widest part, wearing a tee shirt

[@GabeBushman]

I do not, no tape measure lol. But im thinking a size 36 schott 618 from ebay ​@@DudsByDel

Dropping a like for my favorite leather jacket nerd Del!

[@hermegonzalez1335]

Yessir same here, Del’s my favorite leather jacket nerd 😂👌

[@DudsByDel]

Haha thanks man. I do love nerding out about leather jackets!

[@DudsByDel]

Hah thanks Herme!

[@minerforjob32]

This is really clear, even for leatherworking in general. Thanks!

[@DudsByDel]

Sure thing! And good point, this would apply to any leather finish not just on jackets

[@mitchellfuentes03]

where can I get this jacket model?, do you have a link? they look fantastic both of them

[@DudsByDel]

@@mitchellfuentes03 hey Mitchell! They are both from Rainbow Country. The black one is Hercules, the brown is a Speedster. I have a brown pre-order 40 Hercules still available here: dudsbydel.com/product/rainbow-country-hercules-sports-jacket-in-seal-brown-shinki-hikaku-horsehide/ You can buy from some Japanese stores if you’d like to do it. I’m currently the only seller in the USA. I’ll be opening another round of pre-orders for next year in late May/early June

[@kingb3111]

Well done mate

[@DudsByDel]

Thanks man!

[@Snorlax11574]

Do you think spread collar half belts jacket are meant to be worn short?

[@DudsByDel]

Like this Hercules? I think this jacket fits very well, including the length. I think they can be good longer too, if the proportions are right

[@wlseow2738]

You’ve tried a Flathead semi-aniline shinki horse hide black tea core jacket ? What’s your thoughts whether if you’ve had one before or didn’t ?

[@DudsByDel]

Have not tried Flat Head jackets but by all accounts the quality is very high, as long as the fit works

[@wlseow2738]

@@DudsByDel Yeah, fit is critical with leather jackets. I got mine in Tokyo right after the pandemic. Heard that there has been some changes to the ownership of Flathead and my sports jacket style motorcycle jacket I got is a new model. Had it for almost 2 years and had worn it in light rain condition, that did help with breaking it in.

[@danijel3227]

Ok Del, I have it enough! When we will see your 613????? Or, did you sell it? 😵 🤠

[@DudsByDel]

The brown 613gg, yes I did sell it. Actually it was part of a deal to get the Rainbow Country Speedster. I loved the look but ultimately decided it was too limited with the mobility

[@danijel3227]

@@DudsByDel I knew it! But ok, Rainbow is nice...Del, you are the Dude 👍

[@davidemms5176]

Another informative video Thanks!

[@DudsByDel]

Thanks David!

[@GabeBushman]

Hey man, recent subscriber. Im curious to know what's a decent leather biker leather jacket I the mid tier range? Say 200-400$. I don't want the cheapest of options but don't have the money for a luxury brand leather.

[@DudsByDel]

Would probably recommend a quality used jacket. There are many available, for example Schott jackets can be had for $350-400 if you’re patient, sometimes even less. Same for Vanson

[@Tudorguy-zw1ik]

Hey man how many leather jackets do you have? ……..I am planning to get my first horsehide leather jacket from Areolesthere in UK Scotland. At the moment am rocking a Allsainsts leather jacket since 2019.

[@DudsByDel]

Hey I have 7 or 8 currently? It’s a revolving door, as I sell what I don’t wear and buy new ones

[@DudsByDel]

Aero can be great if you get a good fit. What model are you getting?

[@やーやーやーやー-q1v]

both are cool😆 Show me something else❗️ 両方ともカッコ良すぎる😆 他も見せてぇや‼️

[@DudsByDel]

More to come!

[@mitrogns]

Και τα δύο ειναι φοβερά (4.000 €)!

[@DudsByDel]

Yeah they’re really incredible jackets!

[@tommygamba170]

You're words are misleading. Aliline is a grade

[@DudsByDel]

It’s a finish. What do you mean?
