I still love the jacket. Honestly there is no reason to sell. Such a jacket you keep in the family and one day you may give it to your son. Perhaps you could reach out to John as ask him to make you a trimmer version like mine?
Honestly nothing compares. Hence, I hope that JC hires help (to gather customer specs, order supplies, keep track of schedule, assure proper fit through trial jackets, etc.) so that customers like you don't have to wait 6 years and give up.
That’s the way to test a jacket for John. He makes a sample jacket the first time around or when he makes changes and wants to test them out himself as he wears the size 44. I think he is a perfectionist and likes to test the fit to make sure it works for customers too. No surprise that with his...

Atelier savas does for the mtm leather jackets. I wish Goodwear offer it too. That said jc’s jackets are 1k+ less than Atelier Savas and I think better looking. However, although very nice the jacket he made for me while back was a bit large in the chest but that’s when Vicki still handled...
When it is a video call during a fitting when the canvass jacket is adjusted and all the details are discussed then you will more likely get what you wanted.
I see. From my perspective videos would be good. Himel is using them effectively. Updating the website in an age of social media wouldn’t be my first priority though.
