It really is. Mine is also fraying even though it's less than a year old with light wear. It still closes fine though. I've read that sometimes it happens but doesn't get any worse after the initial fraying.
Beautiful jacket. GLWS!
Mine is in a size 42 and is their test jacket but here are the measurements provided by Greg.
Pit 22.5
Abdomen 20.5
Hem 20
Sleeve 25.25
Back 24.25
Shoulder 18.75
They told me the same too and I'm waiting to hear back on the stock measurements to see if I'd need modifications to the lengths or not.
Do you know what the stock lining material is?
No disrespect to Toni of course. I have an Aero jacket made by her from the early 2010s which is very well made so she clearly has the skill and experience.
I just checked my other Field Leathers jacket which is the Chicago test jacket and even that has some of the features @Marc mndt pointed...
My understanding is that Toni was formerly with Aero Leathers and has a lot of experience. But yes, I guess you could consider these as apprentice-made jackets under the Field Leathers brand. Hence the discounted price.
Thought I'd help him promote it in this thread. Greg is currently taking orders for Toni who just joined the Field Leathers team.
Good chance to grab a jacket in their new brown cowhide at a bargain. Check out his IG stories more info!
+1 to that. It depends how long your torso is. I'm 180cm and also prefer a 24 inch back because I have long legs. Makes it harder to buy off-the-rack jackets because I need a longer sleeve length compared to back length.
