Great jacket. Don´t you love the zipsleeves and the front yoke?

Btw you should wear the arms zipped when breaking in so you get the nice creases.

I like very much the zip sleeve and the front york, it give a lot of character . I enjoy. I ordered this pattern after I've seen your great pictures about your Zip sleeve jacket.
thanks so much.

Nice variation on the standard Highwayman Colorado, looks a great fit too.

Enjoy the breaking in period - I can smell the new horsehide from here

Thank 's Cooperson, you're right! that horseside smell is in all the house, it is the best moment just before wearing.

Cool. It looks like a really great fit!
The hide looks so good, its a knockout!

Btw, did you ask specifically for the zippers on the sidepockets?
I never specified about the sidepockets and got no zips. (wich fits me)
Just curious.

Thanks for the pictures.

I imbeded the image codes. I like this jacket. My next highwayman will be cut this way. Do you have any pictures of the back?

Hi GriffDeLaGriff,
It's thanks to you, you had written previously that you hadn't have zippers on the sidepockets when you received your jacket. So I specified to have it. I confirm you that the request should be made.
Thanks again for your advice about zipped arms.

It's a lovely jacket, but (and I'm not trying to be rude) isn't it about 2 inches too short in the torso?

 

[cuthbert]

IMO the length of the jacket is just perfect, I was admiring how it perfectly fits...and I'm also a little envious because my HWM is a little too large and I don't look as good as him with that.

No - IMHO you have to take into consideration that he's wearing a modern "low" rise jeans .... for example: My recent acquisition is a Bills Khaki Model M1 - WWII cut and fairly high waisted - and "suddenly" my Windward look "almost" too long :eeek: ... no not really ... just perfect and I love it!
