Gents,

Here are a few new pics of this jacket style, as modeled by our good friend and fellow maker, John Chapman of Good Wear Leather Clo Co. In Seattle, WA.

As you can see the jacket is clearly too large for JC and his normal size 46 frame, but I think it demonstrates the easy comfort of this style, even with a high
arm hole and rather narrow fit, I believe that a balance has been struck here! You will have to decide for yourself however.

Dave, I think you have a terrific jacket there... The cut, color and texture of the leather look really good.. Did you make the hat as well? Cause that is badass!

I'm a 48....just sayin....ya know, to help fund the R&D :) realy dig the button hole details, no one else is there, would cost too much to produce.

Great looking jacket. Those button holes alone makes this jacket unique but bet it is labor intensive.

I really liked your first version more with the current sleeves and such, maybe a hibrid of the current "aeromarine" clone, but with the slash pockets and the chest pocket. Personally can't utilize the patch pockets for much, dont like em, but that's just me. I dont live in some 30's hollywood movie set, I need function, and a place to put my hands when its cold, from a 1K+ jacket. ( I'm not a rich guy, just love the jackets and don't care at all for fashion, but I pop on one every couple of years).
