My autocorrect changed "got" to "for" lol

This was my mock jacket, I sent it to a tailor to make it into a reversible jacket. My previous post didn't show?

Ok. And Donna should be Dena, or is it Donna? Sorry if I missed your previous post.

Looks like she did a super job.

She really did. I would feel bad about throwing away the mock jacket, but it wasn't really wearable in the state it was, so I felt this was a nice solution

It turned out to be a great jacket

I just did something... Now my mock jacket is a jacket haha

Actually, 2 jackets

I've used the reversible Conmatic zip, courtesy from @photo2u, and sent it to Donna Howard, from Horizon Leathers, to add some leather accents (Shinki Pony scraps I got with my jacket) and made a reversible side out of Harris Tweed. Really like the result

Super cool jacket. Love them reversibles. You‘ll most likely get more out of this one than its leather cousin for sure. Congrats.

Are there any more in-the-wild pictures of the Type II? I'm coming around to the style as it might be more practical for me to use in the bush...if I could get a longer Type II made, 27" or 28" inches, it would be perfect for all seasons wear, as then it wouldn't ride up and leave me exposed while working in the woods...

Aero's jackets are too short in this style. Greg will make the most comfortable jacket for you and you will be happy

How custom can I go with Field, however? Certainly I need a longer jacket, but would he do buttons vs snaps?

At the moment, as far as I know, he is making this version of the jacket now. Write to him, he's a great guy

I just realised that I think he made my first jacket!

I wrote on Instagram, but I'm rarely on it; if you have a direct email, could you DM me it? Feels like synchronicity that he make my next jacket!

Yes, he made your jacket. He worked at Aero.

That probably depends very much on how much time you want to give yourself. I don't know exactly what the current waiting times are, but I think > 18 months, with the potential for it to be longer.
My second thought (although of course it's up to you to decide) is whether a field jacket with premium leather is the right jacket for your use and whether something robust like Vanson, Johnson, Lewis etc. wouldn't be better?
But as I said, it's up to you to decide.
