😎🙌🏾

[@Richard_Lush]

Just got one in black 🤣 Lovely. Stiff but I’ll sleep in it. Smells so nice too. Better than my Aeros. The fit is perfect. I actually like breaking in my jackets. It makes em mine 👍

[@CJCook]

Yeah, they are stiff for the first month or two

[@Richard_Lush]

Got it wet and also slept in it. Worn in nicely now. Didn’t take as long as I thought. And yes the buckles and the stitch down the back are cool. My wife loves it but has no idea how much it costs🤣 The big Universal zipper is so nice. I wasn’t nuts over the small zippers on my Aeros.

5:10 🤣too funny! The hardships of heritage wear!

[@CJCook]

😂🤦🏾

[@Bleek17Six]

Amazing piece, I was even impressed with the stitching just looking at it through video.

[@CJCook]

Thank you

[@MrMusicicon2]

this year 2022, Y'2 leather release new line and new dyeing method ! It seems great too😊 from🇯🇵

[@CJCook]

I'm very excited!

[@saleemwaheed9956]

I’ll be thru to pick up my jacket Brah! Absolutely amazing!

[@Tharification]

God damn, that is a beautiful jacket. Also that "failed" throw on of the jacket had me laughing for a good few minutes. Thank you for that!

[@CJCook]

Thank you Rene!

[@francispetaluma]

Hey CJ, I love the Vancouver Shop. I live in San Francisco, I travel up to Vancouver a lot. Great city! FYI, did you know the City of Buffalo did not get it's name from the animal? It's actually based upon a English translation of a French name, "beautiful flowing river" or "beau'flo". Which is what the original French settlers called the place because of the Niagara River, which flows right through Buffalo.

[@xcoyco]

I like the back but wished they used buttons instead of zips in front, extra lapels under the collars & then would be perfecto! In oxblood too? Fire!!

[@CJCook]

I agree with you 100 percent!

[@petersilecchio4417]

That's one Beautiful Jacket! I can tell the leather is very high quality. Love the Style.

[@CJCook]

Thank you Peter

[@olgi2068]

Beautiful jacket! Congrats. The second outfit is the obvious and classic one (love it), but the third one, I must say, is the one that impressed me most. The jacket looks incredibly fitting and in a way genuinely cool with the chino.

[@CJCook]

Thank you

[@HVelez64]

The jacket look like a vintage 1950 Hercules by Sears 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@georgecarlin2879]

Of all the Japanese leather jacket makers, Y2 is my facorite and hope to pickup the Olive and the Persimmon dyed tan colors, or the Navy. Grail jackets for me!

[@devinhurt7698]

Surprised that you didn't go for that roughout suede one, the blue one also looks amazing though

[@richardwalley2862]

The iron heart was waaayy better

[@mikeslimjimlim]

Stunning, even I would do a double take walking down the street

[@CJCook]

Thank you

[@paze21]

Very nice Jacket bro! The back is really nice indeed. Great video

[@CJCook]

Thank you!

[@nicolascontreras6410]

Love this, it will only get better with time. Gorgeous piece. I have several schotts in xl, how does the sizing of these stack up? Not sure if they make my size in these :/

[@CJCook]

I am wearing a 40. I don't own anything from Schott.

[@biascd]

I'll bet this coloration will patina exceptionally

[@CJCook]

I certainly hope so!

[@blitzsteinaaron]

Hey CJ Awesome jacket what’s your height and weight if you don’t mind me asking?

[@bobbyrobison]

What do you call a stallion wearing a Clydesdale?...a Stud. Get em CJ!

[@CJCook]

🤣

[@WolfRanger2008]

I've got a few things to say but NO WORRIES: no criticisms! :-) :D A. I won't drop a spoiler but I do know what the photo from Vancouver represents. To prove it, No one less than Mister Paul Robeson made mention of such in his famous song from a certain Musical... ;-) B. I 100% can appreciate your consternation with inaccuracy of species!! I say it's very similar to the saying, "There's Cow in Moscow." Excellent presentation to explain your point!!! C. I've talked about everything but the jacket! It is an awesome garment. I heartily approve and I also understand the predicament you found yourself in at the cash register. I had a similar situation but it wasn't due to a stiff garment. It was due to being unable to retrieve a card from a security belt that was firmly trapped under 5 layers of clothing which also had stuck zipper. Yeah, I caught some looks with that one... :D D. When you did the mini fashion demonstration; the 2nd outfit and wore the white, v-neck warm weather cotton shirt your gave a super strong Michael Delorenzo vibe!!!(if you're unsure who I mean, just watch MJ-"Bad" video... E. Fantatic bit of slight of hand putting on the jacket.. :D As always, I enjoy and appreciate your Videos.

[@CJCook]

Thank you! Now i am going to look up all the things you mentioned.

[@WolfRanger2008]

@@CJCook A quick correction: The MJ video with Michael Delorenzo is "Beat It"..not "Bad"..Sorry about that. :)

[@DocBuzzkill]

Beautiful jacket. Congrats. I've always gone with black leather jackets but you're totally right - they're boring. Still a staple of the all black look, but there's something about cognac/tobacco leather. Next time I have enough to spend on a jacket I'll copy you. They'll go well will my Beckman 9013 in chestnut, since they're 7 years old they've grown darker and look more like Beckman's in tobacco, but with a ton of character. - Btw, what Iron Hearts are those?

[@CJCook]

Thank you The Iron Hearts are 633S

[@rajendeol]

How has it aged? Can you do an update? Thanks.

[@CJCook]

I wore the Y'2 Green Car Coat more than this Riders Jacket. This Fall/Winter I will wear this one more and definitely give an update!

[@disfunctionalrobot]

Great video but I can't believe you didn't show it with it zipped up :(

[@joehebert789]

Great quality jacket but the color is too orange for me and wouldn't work with my pale skin tone. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy.

[@CJCook]

Thank you

[@SinjiKazama]

Really nice color. How much do these retail for?

[@CJCook]

Thank you! 1500$ USD

[@waq2062]

Is it veg tanned leather?

[@benficaM8888]

What size do you wear for the Levi's? and what size is this? I'd love to know the comparison in terms of sizing. Thanks

[@CJCook]

The Levi's jacket is a medium.

[@mcmickey3344]

Update on this? great jacket. They now have a kakishibu version kr42 that looks amazing too

[@CJCook]

Yeah, i saw that... Pretty sick!!

[@lapatrie6568]

Nice, thanks🥃

[@briteppr62]

Hi CJ, where can I purchase this jacket online or retailers?

[@CJCook]

The Shop Vancouver @theshopvancouver

[@briteppr62]

@@CJCook Thanks, I just contacted them. Much appreciated!

[@nofillergamingknight7319]

Looking like Donnie Brasco.

[@CJCook]

Donnie Brasco!!

[@gnarlsduceington]

beautiful leather and jacket. what's the size of the jacket. and your height and weight.

[@CJCook]

The jacket is a 40

[@s2kray]

What size are you in suit jackets and how tall are you? I recently got a y2 leather double rider steer oil… that thing is FITTED. Wondering if I should size up on this one

[@CJCook]

I usually purchase a 38R in suit jackets. This jacket is a 40.

[@andrewkwhitecustomfilms]

How did this patina?

[@CJCook]

I haven't worn this jacket that much 😔

[@alijanozkiral6877]

Would you think you could size up on this jacket to layer a sweater/sweatshirt under it?

[@CJCook]

Yes, the sleeves may be a bit long though

[@Richard_Lush]

I saw a Tom Ford the other day on the new James Bond guy (I think he’s going to be). Anyway 10k Canadian. It was goat skin, had two panel arms half way down.? You’re paying $9700 for a label. Looked cheaply made to me. Lots of panels and goat skin? Jeez. So many better leather jackets out there for 1/4 of the price. Even top level Japanese models. Scam. Just wanted to add this in as you mentioned Tom Ford. I have a lower level Five star A-2 and Avi leather D-1 which are far better than a $10k Tom Ford. Whomever bought it has more money than sense in my books.

[@CJCook]

100%!

[@siddharthshetgeri6022]

What size? And what are your measurements?

[@CJCook]

40R

[@redazi1]

Yes thats great piece

[@CJCook]

thank you

[@beijingbikinibottom]

Looks great on you! Y’2 has some great products. Their glove factory is fairly close to where I live.

[@CJCook]

Thank you! I would be in trouble if I lived near a Y'2 factory 😆

[@redazi1]

I did have Levi s ,but sold it
