Nicest jacket I’ve seen in a while…maker? Please and thank you for sharing!
The lapels on the original where a bit more conservative but when I saw them on the mock-up I thought they could use some extra oomph.those are GW worthy lapels!

It is. Green Kelpie! Pretty much run through leather jackets. Not much left of interest there for me (besides maybe something like an obscure vintage piece). I primarily wear my wool jackets in the winter b/c Chicago gets far too cold for leather once fall passes by. Should get a decent amount of wear out of this one. I’m lining it in black corduroy, so it will be toasty.Is this the Kelpie leather?
This looks like a coat that I picture myself sitting around a fire while camping. I like the wool coats. Someone posted one with curved pockets that looked really nice
I love it! Will you be adding the studs too? That original is sooooo cool!The lapels on the original where a bit more conservative but when I saw them on the mock-up I thought they could use some extra oomph.

JC actually had a hand in this jacket, he supplied the ball and chain zipper which is an original 30s Talon.

Maybe I should. They definitely look amazing on the black jacket.I love it! Will you be adding the studs too? That original is sooooo cool!
Man I've searched the internet back and forth for weeks hoping to find suitable buttons, without succes.I recognize that unique looking button
That's a good question, the answer being: I have no idea. LolBut which color is the true one?
Weird that so many of the high end makers put the pockets halfway up the chest in no mans land - this looks so much better to me.Not leather but at less than 1/2 price ........ Levis Made And Crafted Type II Trucker

Damn I didn't think of that !!I love a Type II, but sadly the pleats give me away if I pack on a little extra timber.
I have noticed this with some others and tend to agree that these look betterWeird that so many of the high end makers put the pockets halfway up the chest in no mans land - this looks so much better to me.
