Hey gang, just got my first custom jacket ever courtesy of a company in San Francisco called West Coast Leather.

It’s a hybrid trucker/blazer made of lambskin. Super soft and supple, my girlfriend loves it on me.

The service from the company has been amazing , consistent updates, all around highly recommended. They also said they’d do any modifications if I deemed them necessary which is where this next part comes in.

My only concern is one of the lapels looks to be larger than the other. apologies for the not so great images.

I’d love to get your feedback, as of now I’m thinking of just letting them know I’ll send it to them after the cold season is over if they’re cool with that.

Hey guys thanks for checking in. Here are a few pics of me wearing the jacket. Please note I asked for it to be made in a 44 even though when I measured I was a 48 as I’m enrolled in a gym working with a trainer to get back into shape after quitting booze and other party favors.

So it’s a bit of a tight fit now but it’ll fit like it should sooner than later.

That's way too tight for a blazer mate.
I can confirm. As mentioned
I purposefully asked it to be sized to a 44 vs a 48 as I’m making a point to lose weight.

What more motivation than to tie up money on a new wardrobe ? I’m already down 12 lbs and that was through thanksgiving. :/

I’ll happily post more pics once my training cycle is up in February

The feedback I was looking forward to most was about the lapels being lopsided.

It looks good. The collar lapels looks asymmetrical now because it is folding at a lower point. You can move the fold point a bit higher to get them symmetrical.
