I never got it shipped as I really wanted to take it personally, but still haven't made it to Tokyo. Didn't expect the travel bans would be this long...
Edit: He can make almost any colour you want
I am more into the civilian side as you can imagine, but this looks good!
Historical accuracy has never been a concern of mine, I just want the jacket to look good on me :)
As for the belt, I think the colour works really well with red, I would certainly not call it a gaffe, quite the opposite...
Haven't had the chance to check in the forum in a while and a bit late to the party. But I cannot recommend JL enough. My next jacket with them is in production, will probably be completed in a week or two. It is another really special custom. That is what one the key aspects of dealing with...

Not sure I can...
Veg cow was never a default option, they added it only a few years ago due to the interest in veg tanned leather as far as I am aware.
And they are now adding a veg tan HH that will have the same upcharge.
Just choose your battles and stick to the ones you get the most rewarding feeling for the effort spent.
And keep in mind that the effort spent looking for vintage jackets could be used in other activites such as volunteering for a good cause, etc.
It all depends on what motivates you.
That's a welcome change.
