This is the fit, I think it fit quite well, the way that I wanted. Real comfy and with enough space to layer if I need to. Perhaps it is slightly too long for some around here, but I went for a slightly more modern fit
Quite frustrating, true... Feels cheap, like a job that wasn't finished. Anyway, apparently he's done the same way on other jackets, as @Marc mndt showed. I don't think it is a £1500 worthy job, though...
Yeah, he just told me he was stressed out with time. I wouldn't mind waiting another month...
Yes, I agree. That is why I wasn't too upset about the wait, I started to get bothered when I realised they were pushing back mine for lousy reasoning. Nos, seeing the end result, I just feel the "couldn't be arsed" with my jacket with "so much going on"
And, just to keep things straight, I don't think Greg or Sam are bad people, quite the opposite, actually. They accommodated my request to make my mock jacket on a fabric I sent over, and even gave me leather scraps for a particular project. I'm just not happy with their business.
Now, to the issues. First thing, obviously, is the time. I was initially quoted 9 to 10 months when I first placed my order, February 1st of 2023. As I mentioned previously, it's been 16 months. I have the feeling these custom jackets were all pushed back so Field Leathers could take their new...
Well, after 16 months, the jacket finally arrived. And I'll have to say, it is rather disappointing. I'm not saying it is a bad jacket, because it certainly is not. It's just not the custom jacket I ordered.
