How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

This is so cool: I've made my own design for a new halfbelt which Greg (Field Leathers) is going to make for me. I've made some drawings on my computer but I wasnt sure how my design would look like when taking my body proportions into account. Therefore Greg made the pattern and sewed a cotton front panel so I could have a better idea of how its going to look:

He's now making a new back panel with a 1 inch deeper back yoke, to see which one I prefer.

That looks like an exciting project! What style is it going to be, what hide, colour... any details you are ready to share? :)
For the front design something in between these two, with double stitching on the welted pockets:

The back is going to look like this with an open centre vent :

Didn’t actually buy this but considering it. This one is on pre-order and not out yet. I’ve always liked the Commando and we have members here that own them. But I’m confused about the leather. I feel like I’ve read about this here before but can’t recall where. I know it has and so sorry if the answer has become well known by now. The question is in regards to the Vanson-Left Field-Butterscotch Aloha Jacket. Aka Commando. In the written description they call it Competition Weight. But under the breakdown/stats of the jacket it’s x-150. I know there’s been a lot of confusion over x-150 and z-150 and now add in this. Can anyone provide me with an explanation before I consider ordering? Thanks guys!

They've made the Commando in various leathers, including Horween CXL. Probably a copypasta job on the description. Best to write them and ask.

That´s stellar news, Marc! I believe you will find (or have already discovered) that Greg is a pleasure to work with. He really brings customer-focus to the next level.

Reading your (and also Robbies) review on your Field leather jackets made me pull the trigger. Greg is extremely patient with me and I also love how he's open to discuss design ideas while giving advice on what works and what doesn't.

I spotted you on Instagram wearing An addict Clothes D01. Is that new? Looks very sharp!
