WOW! I love it, thanks for posting.
I had a Test jacket from LW but found it a bit too boxy in the body for me and sold it, especially in the upper arms and across the back. I've been looking at getting a Suburban as cold weather jacket that would accommodate layering a sweater, but had been...
Update with some hi res photos of current condition for the jacket

Also, shoulder - shoulder measures 19"
( *This is a standard Lost Worlds size 40, including sleeve length. )
Thanks for all the positive comments. I really just wanted to post some photos / reviews of the jacket since it's a new take on the highwayman and there have been few if any sightings 'in the wild' :)
I think the collar is fine, suits the jacket. It's just different from the more substantial...
Had this a few days so here's some impressions and photos. Thanks to Thurston Bros - they were great to work with and I can't recommend the fit jacket process enough. At first we were working up an order for a premier halfbelt but I decided to hold off when I heard the Highwayman was coming out...
That's brilliant! Two thumbs way up.
I have a sheepskin Suburban. It hasn't gotten cold enough to wear it yet! But after last year's polar vortex and the fact that I pretty much spend November 1 - April 30 freezing my skinny ass off, indoors or out, I'll be breaking it in shortly.
Thanks gents.
It is the right size - I'm just thinking I'll be happier with something a bit slimmer in the arms / body / waist. It's pretty roomy in the back for me, I prefer much closer fitting attire.
Now if it doesn't sell, I'm sure I'll continue putting it to good use...

Indestructible! Great, heavy jacket. I received it in March, it's got a couple hundred hours on it mostly commuting. So...
Well now I am extremely intrigued. :eusa_clap
I would terribly prefer a Highwayman to the halfbelt, but priority goes to fit (i.e. slimmer waist, arms, and chest with higher armholes). Hence my pursuit of the Premier Halfbelt.
Now I'm wondering, in anticipation of some upcoming development...

I'll be doing the chromexcel FQHH brown. Fit jacket should be here next week, so I guess strictly speaking I haven't really finalized the order yet. Right now just obsessing over the universe of lining choices...
