Field Leathers

He did nail the final product although it’s not my best fitting jacket. Still a little too much room in the body.

Yours is one of the best looking FLs I've seen. It doesn't look roomy at all judging by these pics. I can't tell whether or not it feels roomy or course.

My mock up was also WAY off from the measurements I gave him. Way too short and way too much room in the body.

but it was very frustrating to get a super ill fitting mock up.

My first mockup was also off from what I specified.

This is something I don't understand. If you can't deliver a mockup that matches the specified measurements, then what is the purpose of getting a mockup?

I appreciate that.

For some people the rule of thumb is being able to put a tennis ball between you and the jacket around your navel area. I can fit way more than a tennis ball. I know it doesn’t look like it in pics but it’s definitely roomy. Here’s what I’m talking about.

It’s still a really good fit. I’m not complaining, I can easily layer anything underneath it and can definitely grow old and fat with this one lol!

Edit - for the record I think all your FLs are some of, if not the best fitting FLs there are.

Love that Shinki! Not everyday I see a grainy aniline one. Nice.

I still love it to death and I would gladly wait a year or more for another jacket from him.

Fit looks pretty good to me. Looks perfect. Once it breaks in more, it would conform. And you gotta be able to breathe too.

In fact, they're amongst the best fitting jackets in my collection. They look and feel good both when worn with a t-shirt only or when layered.

Also, I feel like I hit the jackpot with regard to leather. Both jackets looks like they could have been vintage. The perfect combination of graining and creasing.

I love that D-pocket detail, Greg is really great with things like this.

I personally like a bit of leeway, a thick turtleneck layering is a game changer in winter

Marc, these are absolutely sick. They were vintage the moment they were shipped if it makes any sense. And you did some additional magic on them with water spray, is that right? Incredible, in any case.

This is all natural, I just wore them out in the rain. Something they're not really designed for by the way, they soak up water like a sponge.

Thanks. Yes, it’s an overall really good fit all things considered.

Had to google that quote. Only seen Napoleon Dynamite once a very long time ago, so a quote from that movie would never register haha!

@Damon141 - I guess it's your jacket which is currently in the making by Greg. Reminds me a tiny bit on freewheelers speedmaster. ;-)

I think the lining is great

Is it suede leather or moleskin? Not to make out on insta too. But as I have seen the insta story on FL Feed I imagined straight away it would be a cool idea to add a thin suede leather lining to a leather jacket... never seen something like that before.

Does FL usually take awhile to respond to emails? Is it best to dm them on IG?

 

[jeo]

They were pretty quick to respond both on IG and email. IG was Greg and email was Sam. I’d reach out via IG.

Greg is not replying on IG anymore, I think

Or maybe that was just me... Not gonna lie, I'm feeling a little left behind, after I saw Damon's order is 1788, already pretty much finalised, being made with Shinki and Sam only contacted me the day before yesterday after I emailed Greg directly...

I received my jacket in July of last year. I’m sure they are way busier now and need to communicate with a lot more people.

I'm just being stupid, ignore me... My order is 1875, not 1785... Haha

It's alright, I just commited a faux Pas, sorry
