Nice. Don't think I've seen anyone producing the second one before - I like the collar. Very reasonable prices too. Are you able to deal with overseas orders?

This is some great work - can we see some fit pics? Nice to see a range of A1 options. Is goatskin a possibility for both models or just the one?

Thanks! These jackets are made to order so yes we can do an A-1 in the goat. There are other shades of Capeskin as well that are available. The fit pics and mannequin pics are on the way.

Nice looking bits of smutter, the best of luck with the business. Seeing an early Navy jacket in your line up is refreshing.
