What exactly do I have to ask for to get cotton drill lining? Is that what the high quality 100% cotton is?

Why softest lining?
Looks good! Is it stock pattern or custom?J24 Steerhide with custom removable collar.
Pattern is stock, No change.Looks good! Is it stock pattern or custom?
Better pics of my jacket after a couple days of a proper Chicago winter. Rain and driving snow today. I like it so much I ordered its twin in brown HH. Different cuff and slimmer sleeves. I do feel Shawn has stepped up his game. All my past jackets has slight flaws. This one does not. It’s just built to a better standard.

I know, I know eye roll how dare I
Most of them I had custom built. My last one is a stock 44" and fits/feels like a true "modern" 44" . Don't let the numbers fool you. I could probably go down to a 42" for a tight fit in some of the patterns, despite the p2p being listed at around 21.5", which is a fair bit smaller than my actual chest, and by a decent amount.Say please. What is the correlation between 5*HB size and vintage HB jacket sizes or repro HB sizes?
5* exactly matches your other jackets?
If you ever have time on occasion and want to do me a favor... what are the measurements of the jacket? (Or did I miss it?)Most of them I had custom built.

I’d also recommend trimming the sleeves! I’m having Dena do that for me.If you ever have time on occasion and want to do me a favor... what are the measurements of the jacket? (Or did I miss it?)
Shoulder
P2P
Waist
Hip
Because I'm guessing that with your jacket, I only need to make the body and sleeves longer, and possibly move the waist. The rest should fit.
Many thanks in advance
Thank you very much.I’d also recommend trimming the sleeves! I’m having Dena do that for me.
Chest is 22.5”
Shoulder is 19”
Hip/waist is 21”
Yes, if you want more of a V shape for sure. It's otherwise a standard halfbelt hourglass.Thank you very much.
I will ask Shawn which of the dimensions he can easily change. Reduce hips should not be a problem.

AMEN!I just really, really wish Shawn would invest in a decent camera and use it to update the website with more accurate pictures and descriptions of their products and customization options. I really think a great website would help them up to a higher level and would pay for itself many times over (not least from decreased time wasted answering so many questions).
And these jackets will immediately become much more expensive. Although it will happen later anyway.I just really, really wish Shawn would invest in a decent camera and use it to update the website with more accurate pictures and descriptions of their products and customization options.

Indeed. The military repro crowd is pleased as punch and it seems to be his bread and butter. Easy enough. Make a leather bag and add some knits. Throw in a pair of patch pockets and mouton to taste. LOL. Sorry not sorry. Not to say they can’t look good. They can and do.Nice! I was wondering how the regular HH is, can't wait to hear your impressions on it.
To give Shawn some leeway, apparently dude has been a busy bee, he's moving into some new building, expanding his business, he's really deep into the war repro stuff now too. He's really starting to find his market, and I think may be shying away from FL folks a little because the CHL, let's just call it what it is now, was largely a waste of time. He must've thought everyone wanted crazy thick, crazy stiff leather, and found out quickly it was a headache not worth pursuing. He's now identified a market that seems to be generating him the business he wants. Considering all the one offs he did, I think only a few/couple actually gained any traction for more broader appeal. His customers seem to be happy with his current leather offerings, so not having a Horween CXL competitor isn't exactly hurting him.
