Specs
Midnight blue CXL FQHH
Black stitching and black buttons
Coin pocket and throat latch (hiding under collar)
Isle of Sky Tartan and blue sateen sleeves
Did a slight taper at the hem (original hem spec 19.5 inches reduced to 19 - equates to 1inch reduction in hem diameter)
Nickel hardware
I wanted to make a jacket in midnight blue ever since Ton’s Midnight blue HB. I wanted a cross zip but wanted it more vintage than biker. I was thinking of a STF BL with a D pocket initially but when the hooch hauler came out, the back style caught my eye. I went with a coin pocket instead of a D pocket to compliment the elaborate back since I felt a D pocket would be a bit much with that back. The added throat latch also gives it a vintage aviator feel imho.
Hopefully it fits as well as it looks and once I receive the jacket, I’ll post a more detailed post with fit pics.
