How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

[Mrfrown]

Thanks all for the input

I’m going to measure tonight and see what the ptp and shoulder come out to. May not need any more width if I go for the footballs, which was an excellent suggestion. Don’t really want the action back on this one.

@handymike I’m definitely going to ask for a longer collar button strap. I also like the D-pocket idea but totally sold will mull it over. Would bring the design close to the Thedi Cascade homage which is of course quite cool.

I was thinking something lower to replace the LT side handwarmer. like this

 

[Mrfrown]

Turns out strength training makes you bigger, who knew? Didn’t make me taller though heh. Decided against D pocket this time around. I ended up going with the following after talking with Damon. Have til Tuesday to make any changes.

1. +1” longer front length
2. +1.5” chest and 1” bottom hem (these measurements are doubled, so ptp going from 22” to 22.75”)
3. +1” bicep and ¾” elbow (circumference)
4. Lapel snaps (brass)
5. Two snaps on the bottom front opening (brass)
6. We’ll make the left side of the collar 1” longer and add a second (brass) snap
7. No interior pocket
8. Underarm gussets with brass eyelets.

Can’t wait to see your creation!

Thanks HM! Quick on the draw as always heh

Interesting thing came up re: snaps at the base of the zipper. They’re planning to use 2 snaps as standard on their stock version to help reduce tension on the zipper and zipper tape.

Came up when we were discussing making the collar longer by adding a second snap, but I thought it would look weird having 2 snaps at collar and only 1 at base. Nice having bits of the visual and practical design both coming together like that.

Curious to hear how effective those underarm gussets end up being

Number 5 is alive. Seemingly small detail that is very functional. All MC jackets should have it.

Me too! My thinking is that I will generally be wearing the jacket zipped or half zipped and the additional movement for arms matters more than if I would be wearing this jacket open most of the time.

Makes you wonder if it would help with the notorious zipper tape tearing issue on Lost Worlds.

Another Leatherman Cal LAPD. A bit bigger than the one I own. I will compare and maybe sell the one I like less.

 

[MrProper]

Again I used hot water to reshape it

I have to ask again ... hot water treatment ... hot is what exactly? probably not boiling but not lukewarm either?

As hot as it came out of the tap. I'm guessing 60 Celsius

 

[MrProper]

Perfect. Thank you.
For another question I will move to the question thread.

I just bought this 'rancher coat'. Not sure whether or not I can pull it off. I'll find out soon

It just looks like any other French coat from the 40s and 50s. "Canadienne" I believe they call it.

It's a classic one.

 

[El Marro]

I took advantage of the sale and ordered a tan G9 from Baracuta.

After all, who wouldn’t want to look like this guy?
