I was getting quick replies on IG up until May or so... After that I think they just went full busy and replies via IG went mute. However replies via email are ok speed
Thank you, I had the idea after seeing those Old German Jackets with the lining in incredible shape, after reading it was made for durability as a working man’s fabric I was hooked being the special imported Japanese made Camo in my Kensington is already fraying at the inner pocket which I’ve only put a wallet in maybe a dozen times. It’s probably just the way they sewed it, no problem anywhere else.I think the lining is great

Another member thought it was suede and I immediately thought of a great 5th generation family owned leather bag making company which lines some of their bags in pig suede which has a cool lookIs it suede leather or moleskin? Not to make out on insta too. But as I have seen the insta story on FL Feed I imagined straight away it would be a cool idea to add a thin suede leather lining to a leather jacket... never seen something like that before.
He is hard to reach on IG because he gets so many DM’s, can you imagine? Besides the “what number are you on?” He gets a lot of “sick jacket you just made dude?” That’s what he told me.Or maybe that was just me... Not gonna lie, I'm feeling a little left behind, after I saw Damon's order is 1788, already pretty much finalised, being made with Shinki and Sam only contacted me the day before yesterday after I emailed Greg directly...

My guess is he also gets 100’s of jacket makers from India and Pakistan that contact anyone that posts a leather product.
Sam by email I’d say is your best bet, she has been great with me though I didn’t bother too much I hope.
maybe he can find someone to manage his IG account to skim through the spam and forward the questions from paying customers and potential future customers.
I probably sound like a Fanboy defending him but I will say he goes the extra mile when making your jacket with updates and pictures of the production process, something not every maker does or even needs to buy i liked it.
I get tons of those and I'm not even a jacket maker.My guess is he also gets 100’s of jacket makers from India and Pakistan that contact anyone that posts a leather product.

Hi Marc - it is based on the newer pattern with the rotated sleeves - agree about the zip - the number 5s are too damn fiddly for my liking! This is an 8 not 10 though if I recall correctly….
Is it the zipper that's giving you issues or the slider? I replaced the slider on mine with a 30s Talon, works as a charm.Did you supply that zip to him or did he have it already? My zip has been giving me issues and he's encouraged me to send it back to have the zip replaced. I was thinking I might try to source the replacement but if he has a bigger one that would be perfect.

The zipper. The stiffness that was making the jacket sit awkwardly is gone, but the end of the zipper will occasionally pop open and unravel up to wear the slider is. Not an issue I’ve had on these #5 Talon repros before so I think it’s a one off thing. Still an 8 would be a plus!Is it the zipper that's giving you issues or the slider?

30s women's purses. Here's one.Where did you find that slider? I wanted to find one for my Aero... My Hookless slider completely blew out lol
You ask and you shall receive, Marc gave me so much help with fit advice he should be charging me, Regius as well helped tremendously, he has a keen eye for movement and mobility when it comes to jackets and helped me with a little nip and tuck from the mock up Jacket.@Damon141 you need to show us your new cafe racer!
