This is what I love about the guy. There probably arent that many makers who allows this much of change in pattern and new design features, that his current models doesn't already have (like the trojan pocket and the sleeves). He had to do many example pieces and spend alot of extra time to make...
Yeah you can deffinetly see that especially in the back. And i think this looks better and more lively than just plain grainy/smooth or harsh mismatcing that some makers do.
The fit is just what I wanted, so not too tight so I can wear a wool shirt underneath and not too loose to wear it in the summer with only a t-shirt. One important thing was, to be able to wear it fully closed up and not feel akward in it, and its surely does that.

I think the pre ordering period is best, when you get to think and imagine all the possible styles, the makers and the measurements, and then dream about how it's going to look on you.
And the worst time is when the jacket is shipped, and the only...
That is such a cool jacket! I love the brown Shinki. Yours and @Marc mndt jacket made me order one from Greg too. Can't wait for the bespoke and then finally the jacket to arrive.
I can confirm that it was, it had a really nice leather (not too thick) and warm lining. If I would have fit in it better, it would have been a keeper.
