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

You’re probably right. Although I don’t mind the fit, other than the sleeves. I coated it in Obernaufs oil last night, just to see how much darker it would get. Turned out pretty decent. I’ll wait for that to fully dry before I dye or seal. But yeah the fit is very reminiscent of my Vanson Gambler, which I sold on account of the same linguine sleeve.
Wrapping Uo my Polo x zip adventure. This thing took nearly an entire bottle of cordo. I diluted 3:1 rubbing alcohol to dye on the first coat and dropped the ratio 1:1 for two subsequent coats. Satin finish resolene applied. I also reshaped the lapels which were falling open like butterfly pork chops. Too bad the light sucks here this weekend. Color is sublime, maybe the best job I’ve done yet in achieving a shade and finish very close to a true vintage piece. For a guy who rarely reaches (or wants to reach) for a cross zip I think this will hold me over, despite the very much “fashion fit”.

It’s a ton of work but it’s also a lot of fun. Gives me something to do anyway and keeps me (temporarily) away from buying more crap.
Not to mention the acetone high...
Fortunately this paltry hide didn’t require it. That’s the one part that really isn’t fun. When you feel your brain cells dripping down the back of your throat….Not to mention the acetone high...

How did you go about reshaping the collar?
After I dyed it I simply applied clips to the lapels while it dried.

Nice one. Is this your first Coronado?
I’ve seen a few of these on eBay but didn’t pull the trigger because I couldn’t find any info on the brand. Please let us know how it is once you get it.
Thanks!

My first order. I just came across them and liked the looks of their products, the history of the company, and the style of this particular vest. Their website is well designed and easily navigated. They are very friendly and answered my emails and chats quickly. When I get it I will post pics and a review.

Red Label Cal on it's way from Gwen at Cal Leathers who did some minor repairs. Probably just a pit stop for this one, but I can't wait to handle it in person.
