Congratulations holdencain, looking forward to the pics!
It's here!!!!!!!!!
Wow!
The jacket is fabulous! My first impression is the goat is beautiful. It is quite stiff. The buckles on the side needed to be loosened all the way, otherwise it would have been too tight. No worries. Body length and arm length seem to be good. The overall fit is quite trim, armholes are high. I am still in shock it is actually here. Total cost was 580 GBP *plus* another 30 USD due upon delivery to the UPS guy!!
Made by Vicki.

Any chance we see pics this year?
Can't wait to see your jacket...

Well, that's what you get when you don't ask for a plain back, I am afraid. The 30s HB has a yoke, the 50s HB hasn't. I am pretty sure Jan asked for a plain back and forgot to mention it here.
I have a 30s HB on order as well and I actually like it much better with the yoke than without. Enjoy your jacket, holdencain. This way you have a unique jacket and not a clone of Jan's.
I will try to get some pics up soon! The holiday season has been busy in the baby business!
Just FYI my jacket is almost an exact copy of Jan's fab jacket here:

I believe the only difference I requested is that I left off the throat latch and have internal G1/gun pockets bilaterally. The jacket was made by Vickie.
One difference that I DID NOT ask for is that mine has a yolked back and Jan has a plain back? I am not sure *exactly* how I feel about that yet.

Well, IMHO, these jackets looks best with a yolked back. I think it gives the jacket much more charactere and more stylish too...
