Looks fantastic, and a perfect fit for the wearer. Congrats!
Does Dave Sheeley have a website, facebook page where he shows off his stuff?
Well put. I don't see anyone else doing too many mid length jackets, that aren't skin tight, and with styles and collars that look just like all the other makers. Might have to wait a while to find one on the second hand market.Very nice indeed. The fit looks great. I've been looking at these sort of mid length jackets idly for a while now. I'm in no hurry to buy, but if I did chance across one used, I think I might dabble. I really like that this one has that little bit of length, but it just looks, well, just so. The higher-up handwarmers are a clever design-touch, which I would not have thought of - I'm not sure you could have sold me on the idea without seeing it, but they look good. I also very much like the lapel / collar shape. It's a jacket that in one way wouldn't be wholly out of place in the Aero line-up, and yet it's also not a jacket that looks in any way derivative of anything aero have put out. Which is to say it's nice to see somebody donig something that looks that high end but - in what often seems to me to an oversaturated market place - is also its own thing, not just another jacket the same as what somebosdy else is already doing. Enjoy it!
I don't think so, but Terry may know more...
And thanks Terry for fixing my pictures above!
I am learning about Monarchs
A Mitchel/Sheeley collaboration Monarch may be the next hot thing! I gotta get in on this!
Dave did an outstanding job making alterations on an A2 jacket of mine. He cut it from a 52 to a 50; now that's getting too big. When I get to 48/47; I want him to build me one. Does superb work!!I am not aware that Dave has a website. The jacket is too nice to look at sideways!
I will write more later about the story of the jacket and how Dave and I came up with it.
