@Canuck Panda that hide looks amazing. Can’t wait to see the finished product.
@Jin431 does yours have a throat latch? Did you start with the Eastman jacket and then specify changes you wanted? Finally, what is the advantage of a button-in mouton over snaps? Or is it more about being period...
I hate to be the ‘I’ll have what he’s having’ guy, but this has me seriously thinking my next jacket may be a black Ostman from JL. @Jin431 i will tell them that you deserve a commission!
I saw the first few pics and thought ‘damn, Jin, you can sell all the rest of your jackets because you just found The One’ and then I scrolled down to the one with the mouton and my jaw dropped. Incredible!
JL are definitely a class act.

I kinda get the sense that JL are so confident in their ability to alter their work that they make custom orders a little big to start and then they are prepared to take them in as needed.

That length looks perfect on you - is that what you order on custom jackets as well?
