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

[Jin431]

Cool.
Next time try the semi veg tanned heavy goat (1.2mm). I think that's 5 * specialty.

Regarding the measurements ... it is best to point out to Shawn in every email that the observance of the measurements is very important. Even at the risk of annoying. Otherwise there is a risk that the dimensions will be seen as recommendations rather than specifications.
It is also helpful to specify exactly how to measure. So e.g. Jacket flat, seam to seam etc.
If you keep this in mind, you get a very good price/performance ratio at 5 *.

What color do they offer for the heavy goat? Thinking of getting a trucker from them? Thanks

I think they have black, seal and russet.
The seal ist very dark, almost black (my preferred color), the russet is more chocolate.

Just to verify you have russet on top and seal on bottom pic?
Thank you, that seal looks great. Similar to this guy I just picked up from JL.

Hey guys! First of all many thanks for your positive feedback. After @Monitor 's and @Carlos840 's stories about recent fit and quality issues I was kind of nervous and now I'm more than happy with the result! To answer @Will Zach 's question - I do have a matching jacket now for my new Clinch Jodhpur horsebutt boots @jacketjunkie What about the olive green LW Bedford (still unworn)? Here are more fit pictures of the LW Leathertogs and the Clinch Jodhpur (these are so stiff and heavy...best boots I've owned so far). Stu told me that he only has a couple of Crown zippers left - very massive and totally different from the one I have on my other two LW jackets.

It looks spectacular and considering how much I dislike that lousy company, you can imagine that I really mean it. Tho with these boots, I'd go Japanese all the way. I'm thinking FourSpeed or Fine Creek.

I just asked Shawn for all the samples of heavy goat they have with an eye towards a Cossack. I saw a light yellow jacket in heavy goat on their website, as well as distressed heavy goat in russet. Not sure if they stock those hides, but will report when I get the samples.

 

[Jin431]

That Cossack is nice, can't beat the price too. Will you get buttons or zippers with that?

The BATES showed up today!
Wow, this is some collar!
Love the jacket... Thanks @Kubatu !

I received Ken’s blessing today for my modified HWM. I’m very excited to proceed. I think this will be the best Aero I’ve had to date and hopefully my last for years to come.

How’s the midnight blue looking like now?

Found this Prince Heinrich suede hat buried in some goodwill kinda store, $2. I put it on just to laugh, hadn't taken it off for the rest of the day. This is my final form now. @navetsea , you were right. And no, I'm not taking my business to the hats sub-forum.

haaa, see... now that guy in the pub would have to face your jacket game or go home, but seriously nice cap congrats

@ton312 You can show this post to your kids when you bequeath this jacket to them in let's say 30 years Joking aside, I think this jacket fits you very well and is a real keeper...so please don't sell it!

It's too late now and it's all ogre, too. Now I'm just that guy with a silly hat.
