    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Beautiful coat/jacket - love the french seams that provide a custom touch.

    Thanks for your opinion of the Maverick Comp weight - I have a C2 I bought in 2016 and that leather is closer to the old comp weight and has more character/grain than my 2019 Maverick. As mentioned by other posters, your Maverick does fit well and hopefully over time it will season up nicely...

    I agree with the anonymous looking grain in the comp weight - I have the same jacket - bought in 2019 and it is just starting to develop character/grain. OTOH, the Maverick's (that we both (and others) have) in Brandy Roma is super grainy and is far more pliable than the comp. Still, it's a...

    The after image is what this pullover should have looked like in the first place - cracking job on the transition. I guess fringe was a thing back in the 1950's due to Roy Rodgers/Dale Evans, their trusty steed Trigger and Jeep Nellie Bell being on TV at the time. Oh yeah, the Lone Ranger too...

    That's a real dazzler there - great fit and beautiful color. Congratulations!

    Super nice Type III - kinda reminds me of my Vanson Maverick in Brandy Roma leather although yours if far more luxurious looking with the premium hides and brass hardware. I'm jealous but will have to push on with life.

    Style and presence - on point look as usual. Great hair too!

    I (as I'm sure others) look forward to a more comprehensive set of images of this most distinctive jacket after it arrives. Really like the contrasting stitching which gives the jacket a more custom vibe.

    To return or not to return?

    As other posters noted, the fit is not in your favor regardless of the sleeve length. If you are set on a Type-III jacket, you might consider a Vanson Maverick in their Roma leather. Torfjord and I (and some others I think) have one in the Brandy Roma. The leather is super nice and the fit is...

    It's a bold look but it WORKS! I like it.

    Leather Down Jacket

    Here are a couple of Schott leather/down jackets that I picked up several years ago on their sale page. The tan one is waxed pebbled cowhide w/cotton lining and down filling (not sure of the percentage). I bought this about 7 years ago for around $500.00 and wear this more frequently than the...

    Exactly - they are trying to make something out of nothing and to do so, it requires tremendous amounts of electricity to create/mine each coin which is expensive. Another pyramid scheme for the few to take from the many. If all those on the merry-go-round cashed in their chips at the same...

    I think it's the color that makes this a standout compared to your first jacket. I have an Aero LHB in Cordovan CXLSH which I love due to the unique hue of the hide and its tremendous graining. The Burgundy color of your creation is much richer and workmanship appears flawless. It will be...
