Vintage Summit 10: A Vintage Roundtable Discussion by some of the industry's leading eccentrics.

Vintage Summit," a discussion on vintage clothing among vintage fanatics that started in February 2014, has finally reached its 10th edition! We are pleased to welcome back four regular members, Tomohiro Konno, Michihiko Kurihara, Fujihara Yutaka, and Takashi Abe, who will introduce items that are currently attracting their interest. What items are they interested in?

A second type, full of casual attention to detail."

1950's Edward H.Bohlin TYPE-2 LEATHER JACKET

Fujiwara:This is amazing! And it doesn't look handmade.

Konno:That's right. It's also properly tagged.

Abe:It's a Hollywood company.

Kurihara:Maybe it is a costume brand.

Abe:I see. How old is it?

Kurihara:I'm guessing from the design of the tag that it's from the 50's or so.

Konno:The sewing is also quite particular, and the sewing needle is as thin as a shirt.

Abe:When did you get this?

Konno:Mr. Endo, the owner of "Bow & Arrow" in Osaka, gave it to me about three years ago.

Fujiwara:It is certainly a design that Endo-san would like.

Kurihara:Instead of adding an adjuster at the back of the waist, the bottom button at the front is not attached, and it seems to be designed to be easy to wear by allowing room to open.

Konno:I don't see any evidence of it being attached, so maybe it is.

Abe:It is rare to see a leather jacket that imitates the first type of "Levi's," but this type is also quite rare.

Fujiwara:That's the one from Hercules, isn't it? That one seems to be going up quite a bit right now.

Konno:I think it's the horsehide one, but it's over a million depending on condition.

Fujiwara:In terms of bullets, this jacket is less expensive. Some stores are going to charge quite a bit more.

Konno:Indeed.
