That leather looks phenomenal. Shinki pigment?

Yes indeed

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Edit: I was looking back at some of the fit pics here and yep, the issue is on several other...

Do you have his latest patterns? Chicago or Ohio?

I only know the first generation, which was exactly as Marc described. Beautiful, but unwearable for me.

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

Thanks fellas. Nice early j24 on the bay but it sounds too risky
