Thanks for sharing. I‘m tempted as Greg and I do have basically the same size…I always wanted to have a jacket made of natural Tochigi cowhide….but I think I will resist

Ah, now I can access it. Thanks again for posting! If only Greg were 6’1 or 6’2”. At these prices, I’m tempted to try one, even though I know they wouldn’t fit.

But almost all of the jackets are size 40 with 21.5" pit to pit and he has a 41" chest.

I thought you wore a 38.

If only the green one was a 38!

My „heart-shaped“ D-pocket he made for me fits him for some reason. That’s why I thought that the jackets could fit me (on the large end however). My chest diameter is approximately 103cm.

How are you guys initiating an order? I’ve emailed in the past and tried DMing him on Instagram. I’m ready to throw my money at him!

Through his website by selecting the basic design you want and then following up with details through email and IG. If you are thinking of something outside of his displayed choices I'd message him through IG first. He has been very responsive through IG with me, maybe give him a nudge.

best would be to buy a jacket, DM him on Instagram with order number and that will prompt an immediate response. he must get loads of questions through DM/email and he surely can't answer to all of them consistently but if you are already an established customer he responds rather quickly

Oh then no wonder. Your perimeter is around 40,6" so there's barely any difference between you two in that regard.

You must like your jackets snug.

I was seeing slow and steady progress on the breaking in and evolution of this teacore route 66. Thunderstorms hit last night, so I was like wtf, let's give it a go. Wore the thing to dry pretty much overnight. Really kicked into over drive. No sign of brown yet though.

Look at the triple row stitching at the sides of pockets! It is insane how perfectly made this jacket is. I've never seen anything like it! Machinists usually just double the row. . .

Anybody getting close on a delivery? Now that his shop is up and running, hoping to see more jackets posted here. Looks like a couple went through on IG this past week. I'm guessing that's his production rate, maybe 2 or 3 a week.

Soon …
