Great jacket, great overall outfit!

I know the feeling of a jacket that looks perfect in photos but feels a little snug. That said, it sure doesn´t LOOK too small..
I think the fit is fine, but +0.5 inch in the pit-pit would make a big difference in comfort. Certainly not going to stop me from wearing it though - the cool factor of this jacket is just off the charts.
Plus it'll look better with time since that leather looks like it'll sun tan as well. Once everything isn't the same tone the design of the jacket will really pop.
Absolutely! I actually really love natural veg-tan leather and I'm looking forward to seeing how it evolves. I have a pair of veg-tan Clarks boots that I think are coming along nicely.

Yay! It came! Inner tag says size 36, outer tag says 34. Size is definitely closer to a 34. I think it fits OK. It's a little tight about the chest, but wearable. Jacket was basically new with tags, so there might be some room for it to break in. I would've gone for a 36 if I had the luxury of choice, but for around $420, I think I did pretty good here. Leather looks like it is some sort of Veg-tan - leather on the inside pocket is a little lighter than everywhere else. Really incredible details and stitching!

Bonus post: I was curious about what the Japanese text on the tags that came with this jacket said, and it turned out to be mostly care instructions. Seems like the outer shell is horsehide though, and the lining is polyester. Pretty sure "pinil" is supposed to be vinyl. Half the care instructions on the opposite side of the cloth tag is too garbled to make out - might be telling you to check for color change in an inconspicuous place when spot cleaning or applying product?

What is interesting here is that it is pigskin leather, although, to me (in my ignorance), looks pretty similar do cowhide. It has a nice patina and the grain don’t have that weird appearance.

Thanks, that was my first ever leather jacket so I decided to go throught FL's bespoke process.

It was a really nice journey and clearly a win. I highly recommend FL's bespoke option.

I ordered a 2nd leather jacket with Greg's support to get a new customized desing that I love. The wait will be long but I trully think the patience will be paid off.
