We all understand about how we want a jacket to fit correctly. Just hope that for 1/2", Goodwear doesn't go Soup Nazi on you and tell you "No Soup (Jacket) for you - 2 years"!!:eusa_doh::D
Good point on the labor cost, never came to mind. I guess if you are looking for that period look you would want it built that way. I think I saw a photo of HoosierD. Vanson and just prefered that look better!
That brown leather is really nice, but any time you have seams and smaller pieces of leather sewn together where you could have used just one larger piece of hide, doesn't look as good as one piece, and definately is cheaper to make. JMHO!!
I know I've posted this Billy Crystal-Richardo Montoubon quote before, but here it is again - "It's not how you feel, it's how you look, and you look marvelous"!!:D;)
These jackets (and the movie"Seabiscuit") are what prompted me to order the HB I had made in the Waterfront pattern I posted a few weeks ago!:eusa_clap
In the 60's you bought an old beat up guitar because that's all you could afford, until you saved up enough money to get a nice, new shiney one. Now you pay extra to make it look beat up! To each their own i guess, but I prefer nice and new!!
As NBA star Anthony Hardaway once said "I Got Skills"! Well you obviously do too. I can't even post a picture without my daughter helping me!:eusa_doh::eusa_clap
