hey guys, to be clear, I wasn't asking for specifics on how @Jonesy landed this jacket because I wanted "this" jacket.. (this one, nor any that JC makes for himself will fit me.) but I like a good story and I am aware of several other guys who have received the unexpected note from JC asking if...
@Dickie Teenie, I understand your frustrations as I'm in the same boat as you regarding the long the wait and the lack of communication..etc..
If you're still living in Greece have you considered dropping in on Thedi? he seems to make an incredible array of jackets that all appear to be works of...
Beautiful jacket Jonesy, but Tell us the story.. where did you even see that this was available? Im sure that he made this sample in his size, as he always does but was it posted on his sales page?
@Ton - I would say with the exception of the sleeve length, that's your size..
@Sloan - glad to hear the jacket is close to hand.. do you plan to open the box in the post office..:)
@AbbaDatDeHat .. haha, Not Me unfortunately...Schott posted this pic on their Instagram feed today.. I figured you guys might get a kick out of it..
Kinda reminds me of when the Fonz wore his leather jacket water skiing ( Jumping the shark )

The original jacket that Levi’s bought a few years ago smelled like pipe smoke and other Einstein funk, LVC tried to recreate that smell ..I’m not sure if I’m supposed to wear it like cologne or pour it on the jacket... either way it’s staying in the box
@jeo, I don’t think I ever read about this jacket being distressed. This one and the others I’ve seen online are not. The original LVC Menlo in unlined Goatskin was distressed maybe you were thinking of this one?

The LVC Einstein jacket:
I bought this late in the spring this year and I have only worn it a few days.... it’s a rainy Saturday here today and I figure I owed the lounge a few pictures ( iPhone propped on the couch)
if anyone has any interest in the collectors item bit with this jacket...
I think one of his machines ( button hole machine) has been broken for a long time and he either cant find a person to fix it or it cant be fixed... A new machine is on order apparently. All this i read on the details of a sales jacket posted recently, not from any correspondence with GW.
So I...
Yeah, this past April was 4 years...Im not hurting for a jacket, and the $200 I plunked down isn't gonna make or break me, so the plan is to ride it out...
