Like a Commando or a Flat Head with larger collar. Very nice. Might as well delete the full AB. Just have shoulder gussets, if that. Simplify it all. Man, I’m interested to see how it all works with the 6 oz. You lead the way on this one

Maybe a little bit of both at the same time...
I get it though man, I love the heavy leather. I can’t wait to hear how this one turns out for you and to see some photos of the finished product.

Didn't you say you quit on heavy leather? Glad to have you back. I'd go for the same thing if I wasn't in Europe.

I would spec it at 7.5 oz if you want a true 6. My JL was advertised as 4.25oz but was more like 3.5. It was lighter than the cordo Halfbelt which is true 4oz cow. I second jmax thoughts on deleting the coin pocket. It’s way too small and it might be risky trying to resize it. I can’t wait to see the pics of this jacket. Should be a legit 13lb’r.
...and a pickup truck.

This is the finished mockup jacket (still at Field leathers so I can't try it on yet). There were a few things about my design which I wasn't sure about. One was the rounded front drop. Greg's Michigan design seems to have a somewhat V-shaped front drop and I didn't think that would look good with added bottom hem panels. Seeing the rounded front drop on the mannequin, I think it looks great. I also wasn't sure about the dept of the backyoke (the two arches). In my initial design it was a bit less dramatic :
Gregs advice was to make it one inch deeper. I think it looks good but I'm not 100% sure yet. Think I just have to try it on and see how it looks.

Then I keep my fingers crossed that it fits you well. You also chose the navy Shinki which is a great colour! Looking forward to fit pics once you received the jacket.

This is actually a cotton mockup jacket which he will send to me so I can try it on and see whether it fits, or not. If not we can still alter the pattern before any leather will be cut. No more fingers crossed
The final jacket will be made from black aniline Shinki leather.

Should have followed your e-mail(s) more precisely. That's great customer service offered by Greg! Anyway, I'm sure the black one looks beautiful!really fun to see the creative process.

Guess I’ll see what the hype is about. Should be here in Nov which sounds ideal.

Looking forward to seeing your review. I like the look of them and I remember being tempted when Boyo got his not too long ago. You can bet that if iron heart made them I would own three already!
