I was a long time coming for this reason and that (and I think I started twenty threads on one aspect or another of this jacket). Anyway the order is in and I can't conceive of changing anything now. I'll try to post pix when I receive it; but for those who, like me, enjoy following along vicariously, this is what is on order:
1) M-120 (Basically a Lost Worlds Rigger, same pockets. My weight fluctuates with meds and I didn't want a specific waist baked in)
2) CXL over dye 3.25oz. (Black over brown, verrry attractive.)
3) Brown wool lining body (Same as forestforthetrees)
3a) Quilting in arms (I was going to get wool in the arms also, but I didn't want too make it tooo warm to wear often. Allen said corduroy would be too "catchy".)
4) Rust knit
5) Dark brown mouton permanent collar
6) Silver zipper #10 slightly exposed teeth (I like the way the leather doesn't cover the zipper and the zipper is a big visual element.)
7) Stitch with brown thread
8) Shoulders 19”
9) + ½ longer sleeve length (compared to the test jacket Allen sent that I wore and took iMac pictures that I emailed to JL)
10) + 1” longer body length
11) + 1 ½” to chest waist and bottom (size 39) (Allen, God love him, is making me a size 39. Take that Aero!!)
12) Outside bottom pockets lined with black corduroy and style like photo #8
13) Two inside pockets with snaps right side horizontal left side vertical
14) Yoke on back lines up with sleeve seam (I like the way the yoke stitch aligns with the sleeve stitch on an A1 - recapitulated here.)
15) Knits only (Allen sometimes uses leather in back and on cuffs to save the knit. In my case, however, I'd love to be around to need a replacement.
I hope we're going to have a lot of cool weather, but I don't think that's going to happen.
