Beautiful jacket Mark!!!
mr.himel reached out to me and told me mine is ready as well.
this is beyond better than what I had imagined it would look like.
How good are they at answering emails?
I sent them a message two weeks ago and never got an answer, is that a usual thing?
You know, I love Himel more than the next guy, but is it just me or is the stitching around the shawl not up to the usual standards? It seems kind of wonky, and I think I'd be a little unhappy if I paid himel prices but saw stitching like that in such an obvious place.
He's had a team for years. He has pretty much never done all the sewing himself.The extreme contrast between leather colour and stitching shows every detail. That is a big challenge.
But I don't think it's only him anymore. I think he has a little team by now. Am not sure, but I think I've read it in his posts.
When everything's collapsing, trust the kids!

This is the worst stitching I've ever seen on a Himel and I've looked at and handled quite a few!
I'll add, I'm not against Himel at all and I'm not a stitch obsessive perfectionist either but whenever people talk about a Himel jacket, its almost with religious reverence and they are perfect. I just dont see how somehow the Himel factory employed all the worlds perfect craftsmen and the other makers got the rest.
I always thought the whole point of spending the $$ on a Himel was you got one obsessive perfectionist doing the work.
How do they justify the prices vs Aero or RMC or Eastman or any of the other small scale factories?
