I have a SB Klondike in the works, and your couple photos helped pin it down for me. You don't show a lot of pics but I can see your chest pocket clearly and you really did a number on that with the no zip/single button, with triangles. Really nice. SB is sending me leather samples right now. So excited.
One of my all-time favorites. I made several super cool vest linings for this jacket. The mouton lining was called the bear. Lastly, how cool is that rod bent? You know there is some serious hide pulling it down. LOL.
Yes, the Klondike is a good pattern - the triangular patches are a minimal extra expense. SB's goat is really nice, and the Blattwerk mahogany I got a SBV2 in is thick and not stiff. The car coat I have coming will be in Prairie Black, which is from the same tannery as Blattwerk.
Looking forward to the video!
I never had this jacket in hand but it looks to be a #5
It seems this pattern is very similar to classic halfbelt styles but with a bit of difference, which I like. I'm glad to hear your endorsement. I have a café racer in fairly heavy black goatskin, and one is enough for me. This one will be in a very dark brown horsehide with a reddish tint to it. Hopefully something with some character and depth. I don't know names or sources, but like I said, samples are on the way.
Looks like they copied the shoulder (chest) pocket from 5* lol.
It does look a bit high
The sleeves look weird to me. The left looks absolutely massive compared to the right. Perhaps just a bad photo.
I’ll cancel the order. Shame because the rest of the jacket looks great.
Alden 403 Moc Toe Boot - Brown Chromexcel - $680 The classic "Indy" style Alden Boot in the classic Horween brown Chromexcel. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - #395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Himel Bros. - The Ross Mk. 1 Leather Jacket Classic D-pocket motorcycle/aviator style jacket.
Good call. You own many great jackets, this one won't add anything to your collection.
