The overall fit is pretty good actually. I just don't know about the pocket placements - they're all way too high.

Thanks, so happy with how this 2-tone turned out

Thanks and will do!

Gonna have to dip the entire jacket in that beer. For consistency, make sure it’s the from the same brewery batch. Tbh, I’d just leave it be. It doesn’t look bad and over time will probably blend in as the rest of the jacket evolves.

For what it's worth, Dena herself recommended one of her colleagues.

It's just how the pattern of the jacket interacts with your body - don't think it'll go away during the break-in process. Short of an expensive alteration or injecting some of this around your shoulders and traps area, there isn't much else you can do. The padding seems to be the best bang for...

I don't see how you conclude the CR has the issue and the other one doesn't....

This is gonna make those guys that liken LW sleeves to pant legs tingle lol

That's a fair point - but I feel like the comments were directed more at the maker and their design rather than how the jacket fit the person. Tbh, I think the fit on the jacket is just fine and do hope that person continues to enjoy it. It's just the other small details we got hung up on.

The more the merrier!

Not wrong, but the question was phrased as: It's definitely more similar to 40s-50s HH than CXL is.

This is true, concerning his leather that's 4oz and up - but they will still form a lot of nice graining like the originals do. From discussing with him, he'd liken the originals to use HH closer to his 2.5-3oz grade stuff. They still have a more robust topcoat.

I didn't mean to imply it's a bad jacket or that these are deal breakers considering the price point. Like I mentioned, I agree adding the zippers doesn't do a thing and seems unnecessary - guess the way I phrased it didn't make it clear.

I think it would be more productive if you try to ask the majority of your questions in one go rather than a slow-drip. But to answer your question, that seems to be the consensus. The owner (Stuart) is very knowledgeable about jackets from that era and has a bunch of originals at hand. He's...

Overall jacket looks fine. Tbh, those cuffs are a bit wide, but usually that's the look on work-style jackets that this was inspired by. But agree adding the zipper to them really has no value. And maybe it's just me, I find the angle/placement of the handwarmers to be odd compared to mine...
