Going over my JL order I realized I said a 2” waist band. Too small! I’m looking at both @Jin431 ’s jacket and the BK below for inspiration- should I go 3” or 4”?

Now i always carry a deck of playing cardA removable throat latch sounds like the perfect thing to stow away in your jacket pocket.
I mean really, how many people actually put stuff in all their jacket pockets?
Anyone store glasses or sunglasses in a jacket pocket?
I’m considering either a deep interior pocket or a single long vertical chest pocket to hold my prescription sunglasses (or my plain prescription glasses)
If not pockets, how do y’all do it?
Don’t think your supposed to see the threads like that ..Is it normal that when you stretch the seam you see more thread exposed? I am concerned it will eventually break.

it looks fine, if the jacket is a bit tight, the stitches will dig in into the hide to a point, and then they will stop and sink there it will not continue to stretch of break the stitches once the jacket felt nice, beside it is probably poly core thread, pretty hard to break.Is it normal that when you stretch the seam you see more thread exposed? I am concerned it will eventually break.

You won't see much (if any) of it on a Field Leathers
I have this issue all over my Himel, IMO it doesn't look great.
I can confirm on Field Leathers. I don't see any of it on my FL Idaho. Also checked my ELMC's, don't see any.
Funny. I think I've read somewhere that Himel uses cotton thread instead of nylon like most other makers do. Because it's period correct plus it wouldn't cut into the leather like nylon does when sewn under high tension.
Can't find the source anymore though so I could be mistaken.

I own a Long Half Belt (Aero) lined with shearling. I had asked for the thickest shearling available but I now regret if for a series of reasons.
I would consider a relining but maybe I'd try to trim the shearling myself first.
Does anyone have any experience on how to trim shearling?
Thanks!
haha, I miss the special trimmer, luckily my jacket will be more steady than the sheep on the video!
something like this works. best to hold a vacuum cleaner next to it. https://www.wahl.shop/en/clippers/haha, I miss the special trimmer, luckily my jacket will be more steady than the sheep on the video!
