Concur. This jacket will be my third from them and couldn't be happier with the previous two.
But I would have to caution people about the mock jacket as it is just a canvas fit jacket and the finished product will definitely fit a bit differently. So when ordering and adjusting your...
I am promised my new JL jacket by February 25. I ordered it Dec 6, but with holiday break and vacation they pushed the delivery date by a month. I had two fittings and hopefully the result will be as good as the previous ones.
I was told no. Tried to get on the @Canuck Panda Shinki train, but I was a day late and the whole batch had been promised for. I ended up ordering a Cossack variant design with good 'ol black CXL. It supposed to be in my hands around the 20th of January
Well, be that as it may, my experience with 5* is through a single jacket I got from them and although I provided all measurements, it came back much wider, with a neck that is 5 inches wider than what I indicated, sleeves straight as planks, and inconsistent thickness of the hide. I went with...
So, @Canuck Panda do we pay you for the leather? and how do we do that? Through the classifieds thread? And will there be enough hide from your imported shinki for a car-coat type which, according to Damon requires about 47 sqft?
Great, I will be sending the measurements to JL and discussing the design.

I talked to Damon from JL and he said that they have no problem with CanuckPanda drop ship the hides and then taking the individual orders.
For reference he said that a jacket size 50 long would run about $700.00 for labor and the additional material.
