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

[ABCD]

Incoming Field Leathers Route 66 brown shinki jacket, brown lining, antique brass talon repro, zip closure to inner sleeve. Excited to break this in soon. Great stand up guy and will recommend him to anyone for sure.

Man this leather is beautiful. Congrats!

beautiful, I thought the collar is great looking too as stand collar or folded like a cossack

It's different from what we normally see on a cr, but I don't think it looks odd

Thank you, will post follow up pictures of the collar folded down when I can.

Thanks man, hope he brings this brown back later on for people interested.
It might be a tad too tall for my short neck but I hope not.

Moreover they've probably never heard of makers of quality jackets like himel or freewheelers or what have you. Even if they had, they are not the type of customer to place a custom order and then wait 6 months or more before the jacket is completed.

That is how I used to be until I discovered this place. I still hate to wait but I now know that some things are worth waiting for.

Received email. Ordered jacket.

Dude we already have that jacket! I’m pretty sure I remember correctly that you and I both ordered the black Sherpa from brave star last year...

No...I bailed out on that one last year but had to get it this go round. Also ordered this from SOSO, 20oz, flannel lined w/nickel snaps! They offer a 30% discount if you create an account and that knocked $104 bucks off the total. Kind of a short chore coat. Looks cool.

I can’t wait any longer. hope it's coming soon.

Something to look forward to...I don’t expect to see mine before April. When did you order?

my order was placed end of june. Holly told me, that currently the situation isn't easy and its very hard for them to accurately estimate lead times. So may its my christmas present for me

Good news is that it appears to be likely that they survive these challenging times then.

I would bail on it again if I were you. A very lackluster jacket in my opinion, it reminds me of a Snuggie.

LOL. Too late I’m afraid!

Oh well, if nothing else you’ll have something comfortable to lay around on the couch in.

 

[Jin431]

Oh i see.
Ask him to fold that one down and take a pic. I think it might look good either way to be honest.

I like how it folds. I'm keeping it as it is. if I have him change the collar now then it might be more troublesome and there might be issues with buttonholes not lining up per the maker. Pretty happy with this, I'm thinking once he collar relaxes I can shape it better too.

Can’t be more Snuggie than the Levi’s equipment. I like a nice light Sherpa hug!
