    Anybody trust etsy?

    thanks for the in-depth reply. I'm getting a leather one in the style you posted, and am waiting to hear from Johnson. I was thinking goat, but if you think horsehide is a good choice, i can inquire about that

    Anybody trust etsy?

    yeah that what has me worried. I reached out and he seemed confident but there's only a couple of pictured reviews with jackets. Not sure about the quality, but from a glance it doesn't look to be top notch

    Anybody trust etsy?

    Hi all. I want a custom b-15 leather bomber jacket, but after reaching out to various sites (aero, falcon, fivestar leather, cockpit USA) nobody wants to make it. i found a seller on etsy (i can post a link if later if that's allowed) that is willing to make what i want for only 600 USD. their...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    looking for a lightweight spring jacket, would cotton lining be fine? i wanted a bomber style coat but would having a fur trim around the cuffs, waste, and collar look stupid? should i go for a knit/ribbon trim?

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    well he's also shorter and he has a stocky build (think dwarves) i'm taller but slim so our weight isn't distributed the same. also, like everyone was saying, i have plenty of space

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    i would but he would never let me photograph him. i will say that it's far too tight, he can't even get the front of it to reach together to zip it up. it looks like wearing a coat but somebody cut off the front end of it if that makes sense

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    good to know. thanks. I actually spoke to a leather tailorer in my city and they said it wouldn't be a problem, however some others on here told me alterations would ruin it, but they sounded so confident that i really do not know.

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    Thanks for the anecdote, if that's the case then i should be GOLDEN i was just really worried. thanks for the re-assurance. as i'm sure you read, perhaps the culprit is the shearling inside which is worrying me.

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    it's not. i'm just really concerned about the fit. i've never gotten a jacket that fit properly before so having this even feel a bit snug is eriously throwing me off. i guess i don't understand how a jacket 'should' fit. i'd appreciate any help/advice

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    I sent them a size small (36-38) and told them to add room for the shearling. They said they added a half inch to account for it. Not knowing better, I said okay since...I'm not a jacket maker and trusted their expertise. The jacket I sent them doesn't fit me well btw. Quite big.

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    perhaps i am confusing if with the shearling? i never wore something like this so could the puffiness from the shearling be constricting?
