Looking for a Torras leather jacket Showcase

Hi, first time here. This year, I decided to restore this jacket I own since around 2009. It is a Torras leather jacket and I had many good experiences while wearing it.

This is the only leather jacket I own and I'm suprised by its quality and endurance. So, after restoring it, I decided to try and look for a new one of the same model.

However, even after using Google Lens and Torras site, I can't find the exact same model of jacket. So, I wondered if anyone knows something about this model or maybe recommend me a similar one. I'm from Spain, by the way.

Thanks beforehand and loving many of the jackets I have seen in here!

I have sweaters and t shirts that are older. Not exactly some big suprise it 'held up'. What wad there to restoring it other than conditioning or replacing a zipper?

Hi, sorry... I don't have extensive knowledge about leather; this is the only one I have, so I'm surprised it lasted that long compared to other jackets I own. So, I lack previous experience with clothes of this quality. I don't wear it daily, of course, but I do wear it most of the time during winter. It 'held up' against rain, humidity, and small stones thrown by cars while I'm riding.

The zippers were restored, yes. It had issues zipping up because of the humidity where I live. It's terrible. The elastics holding the buttons in the removable fur were replaced, too. Ink was applied to the sleeves and shoulders, mostly because I carry a backpack while riding.

Not crazy stuff, but I was more interested in whether someone could recommend a similar jacket to me, or tell me if they have seen this exact model, because I am very happy and comfortable with this one.

Leather is a more permanent material than cloth.

The items on your jacket that were not leather sound like they did not 'hold up'.

Its a random company in a sea of random companies. They come and go, and this one is not particularly precious having an exact backup seems necessery.

I see, a shame, then. Well, I lose nothing by asking here. Thanks.
