    Lost Worlds B2

    Changing the pulls out will be no problem at all. I would guess that being a 4 oz hide & pretty stiff, is probably hard on the NOS #5 zips. The Crown zips seem to have fairly fragile pulls. finally got a pic outdoors that shows the hide color correctly. Doesn't look as much like a pumpkin as...

    4 oz is pretty thick for one of these! The main zip shouldn't be an issue to replace, but the sleeve zips could be very tricky, unless you have someone with lots of experience change them out. The B-2 has a pretty complicated setup on the sleeves.

    Steve S M-422a Build Thread

    Thanks! First off, its just a matter of personal conviction & integrity with me. I'm not going to attach my name to something I'm not personally proud of. That's the way I've handled my paintwork for close to 30 yrs along with everything else. When it comes to jackets/clothing, everyone's body...

    Steve S M-422a Build Thread

    I'm also thinking yours will benefit from the "revised" bi-swing outer strips that I'll be swapping into Deacon's jacket. I also appreciate both of you guys understanding how complex the design is on these jackets & that it's still learning process in a couple of those troublesome spots for...

    Still Looking for Cuffs and Waist for G-1 Jacket.

    I'll take some pics in the next day or so of how to sew the cuffs to the sleeve & attach the liner at the same time. Will greatly speed up the time/quality of the repair. same principle will work with the waistband also. Feel free to shoot me a message anytime if you run into a headscratcher &...

    I'm currently making one for myself. Going against the traditional dark hides usually seen & doing this one in a light russet with contrasting dark wool liner & fur.

    Alternatives to Horween Chromexcel?

    I think those buttons may be for looks only. As I don't see any button holes underneath. Possibly a Zipper underneath there somewhere?

    Aero Zipper Wavyness

    I have numerous pics of original M-422a's & G-1's that had this issue so is nothing specific to any manufacturer or a new development.. It's just something that happens when dealing with natural animal hides. You just have to be aware during construction & try to work with it the best you can.
