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

Greg's jackets are work

Greg's jackets are work of art.

Indeed they are!

Yes, that is mine. So, so excited to see it finished after a long wait and many mails going back and forth with the tweeks to the original design. Give it a week and the fit picks should be up on IG @hidesnboots

So nice, when did you order it?

 

[moktabe]

Aero Hudson ordered...

CXLSH in Cordovan, olive stitching, brown alpaca lining. Irvin collar.

Now the wait although at least the weather is getting warmer!

 

[Ole K. Vik]

Thanks

So nice, when did you order it?

Thanks! I ordered it last April, so just under a year lead time... Really nice going through the process of measurements, personal alterations to the design and choice of lining.

Harris Tweed Halfbelt shooting jacket. Sellers insists it’s green, which I hope is true. Looks grey to me.

Super excited about this MTO Field Leathers modified Manhattan on the way in the mail...

Epic. After seeing Jin's, I started leaning to brown pony. Now Im Sold. This is incredible. Doing something in the same scope but with a little flair. We'll see if that holds as I got another 5 months. If he starts cranking out shearling, I might have to take a detour.

4.5/5oz (1.6mm - 2mm) US Tanned Goatskin. Bench made in San Francisco. Proven pattern. Excellent Value (Less than UK brands, (only) slightly more than imports, I think the local PD contracts helped to keep the cost of this one down)
One EPIC (to me) jacket coming...

It is... greenish grey or greyish green. The beauty of Harris tweed!

Congrats dude, i don't think you have anythign to worry about, it looks like a greta jacket.
Fit pics when it arrives please.

Just got it today. It turned out to be a bit smaller than expected because of the tapper at the hem. It has shorter sleeves than I like but now I get the Hype about Lost Worlds. It is very very nice and gives me an idea about sizing. I was worried it sized bigger but I think it is just true to size with a good tapper (At least on this Ryder)

Built like a tank and I tried to do the water treatment just now and I can't believe how waterproof the leather is, almost nothing soaked in. What a beautiful and soft leather. The inside pocket placement is fantastic for a wallet or phone(you can feel them when putting your hand in the handwarmer one which I like), the chest pocket deep enough for a phone too and the handwarmer pockets have a good angle.

If I find a 38 I think I will probably grab it, this one was a 36.

Careful with sizing, the patterns evolved with time as far as I understand.

And they are indeed the most waterproof jackets I have handled

Thanks for the tip. I took a risk on this one for the price but oh well. No measurements were listed and used another 36 somewhere else as example.

As far as I know these smaller sizes are Japan only because on the website 38 is the smallest size.

If I went custom I'd would trust Stu and use this one as guide so to speak. I'll take fit pics this week but I already know the sleeves are short and bother me when wearing long sleeve shirts becaue they show.

A very important measurement apart from lenght is the hem widht.

I'm still surprised to see @ton312 doesn't own one or has kept it if he had one.

I had two. One fit great but also was just a bit short sleeved and the other was...massive and a very bad fit all around. It is the one LW I constantly scan for though. Of the few patterns I've tried from LW, I like that one best. Ironically I regularly wear vintage jackets with this sleeve length but somehow it bothered me with the LW.

Just bought this minutes ago. Unknown steerhide halfbelt. Can probably go into Best jacket deals for 200 or less thread.

Is it a Kit Karson? Is it a Wolf? I don't know but it's awesome and it's coming my way

Nice jacket. Previous owner did an excellent job replacing the hardware. Save buyer the trouble.

True, but I'd still like to find a nickel Conmar to replace the brass Talon.

Wolf…

Label from my no-doubt wool Guidemaster.

Your jacket is incredible. I’m psyched to read what you think of it. Special jacket for sure. Thick HH too.
