Yeah its a little more for the '47, $1250 vs $1100.
There are some interesting differences, but the older version is also slightly less practical? '47 Columbia pockets are angled differently and have a little less space, there is visible stitching for the pocket as well, sleeve zips are on...
In the end I decided to get a new jacket with my Langlitz production slot rather than a vest.
Going for a Columbia, removed the bi-swing back and with a squared-off bottom rather than the beaver tail. Sorta like the '47 Columbia but with the modern pocket placements, collar etc. Expecting...
I really love this style. Seems very versatile. Do you have any pics of it on? The ones on Thedi’s site are the much brighter (and still great) tan and I’m curious about darker colors for it
Big temp swing from yesterday, from 72F to in the 20s with windchill overnight!
Really digging this JL for layering today. Think I’ve finally found where it fits in
Hey y’all
Putting my Premier Highwayman up for sale. Really love this jacket but have to concede that I’m finally starting to out muscle it. For reference I’m 5’9” and this jacket fit me very well at 170-175# and 40-40.5” chest.

Really proving that I’m a sucker for a good vest…Deer Wear with faux fur lining on the way
My Langlitz production spot is up, about 95% sure I’ll be getting their basic 4 snap black cow vest, 5% chance I’ll do a ‘47 Columbia
The excellent original found by @Monitor Seeing it lighted a fire in me heh
It’s interesting to see what got changed in translation too…my collar is smaller, CXL has more shine, fit is much trimmer (plus that unfortunate crease along the back that’s not settling down like I thought it would)...
Decided to move this cool Thedi on. The style is just not quite a match for me.

Offer available or better price to be had here just DM
Lots of detail work, quilted padding at shoulders and elbows, and...
Yep. Its in limbo at the moment. I'm leaning towards keeping it and having the sleeves and maybe the bottom hem taken up. Might possibly move it on and find one that fits without alterations...but not sure.
