That leather looks phenomenal. Shinki pigment?
Yes indeedThat leather looks phenomenal. Shinki pigment?
I don't really like how mine sits on my shoulders, it bulges quite a bit and looks weird next to the collar.I know it’s somewhere in the above 150 pages but considering the speed of the site can anyone give me a brief synopsis of the issues with the early patterns.
His first pattern had a chest (width between the armholes) that was too tight. The sleeves were too narrow, too much curve and a sleeve pitch that was slightly off. Second generation patterns had square shoulders. All generations were / are undersized imo (my 44 fits like a 42). I've seen the 'push against the neck' issue on several of his patterns. Kenan's Peter's repro has it too. I asked him about it when he just got the jacket because it looked really uncomfortable to me but he told me it's perfectly comfortable.If you look on Keenan's pictures you can see the same thing I'm referring to.
Yeah, I don't have any comfort issue to speak about. I just don't like how it looks. I agree with you on sizing, this one is 44 whilst all my other jackets are 42. The measurements that I asked for are a mix betweent my LL and my Eastman. So one would think it would be a 42.His first pattern had a chest (width between the armholes) that was too tight.

Do you have his latest patterns? Chicago or Ohio?I don't really like how mine sits on my shoulders, it bulges quite a bit and looks weird next to the collar.
I don't want to extend too long, but to summarise, the pattern of my Eastman and mainly my Lewis Leathers feel just that much more refined and adjusted.
I only know the first generation, which was exactly as Marc described. Beautiful, but unwearable for me.His first pattern had a chest (width between the armholes) that was too tight.

Yes, I got this a few months ago, so I suppose it is his lates. This is his half belt one, I don't remember which with/state he named it nowDo you have his latest patterns? Chicago or Ohio?
that's a rear collar hole problem, can be caused by adding the shoulder drop but keeping the same rear collar hole like a flatter shouldered jacket, or perhaps the sleeve is slightly pre rotated forward but the rear collar hole is not cut more roomy for the normal position with arms down on the side, I have some jacket with that problem when I designed an exaggerated drop shoulder, but I forgot about the rear part of the neck, looks fine on the hanger because the hanger is flat, while our neck is rounded
The Idaho is the older pattern I believe unless he upgraded the Idaho ..Yes, I got this a few months ago, so I suppose it is his lates. This is his half belt one, I don't remember which with/state he named it now
Edit: it is Idaho
I had this problem on a G1 contract jacket. I couldn't put up with it and got rid of her.
Here the rotation of the sleeves looks normal. Therefore no shifting in the neck and stretching over the chest.There is no problem with the racer View attachment 650240
He updated it at some point, I recall there was a post about it on his Instagram profile.The Idaho is the older pattern I believe unless he upgraded the Idaho ..
My FL leathetogs doesn’t have that issue, but the Peter’s does. I expect it to be because the Leathertogs was made to my measuremnets and the Peter’s was originally made for another guy. Anyway it doesn’t feel uncomfortable at all, because the of the collar style I guess. The weight of the jacket doesn’t rest on the neck, so I have no issues with it.If you look on Keenan's pictures you can see the same thing I'm referring to..I don't know if that is truly an issue, but I don't like it too much, even more so considering the "bespoke" part of it
