Weather has officially turned and my Norshor is getting the use it deserves.

Here are a few fit pics:

Hey man.... that looks GREAT!!! Really! Wish I could sport something like that! I'm sure some of the bikers in the lounge might say the sleeve's could be a "little longer" but not me. I'm still not quite used to jackets over my thumb-bone! Nice!

That's a nice look right there Bretron, what's the lining on that baby?

 

[bretron]

@worf, I know what you're saying about the sleeve length. They could be about a half img longer and I wouldn't mind, but it doesn't honestly bother me.

@simon, wool plaid. I think there are pics of it somewhere back in this thread (?)

Thx both for you comments!

One of the nicest looking jackets I think I've seen on the Lounge this year. Love the back detail.

 

[bretron]

Cheers, Sloan. That's quite the compliment

A Bootlegger type sits high up on my list. What sort of leather is that? Already looks as if it's got a nice texture.

 

[Worf]

Hey Breton! When you joining the had brigade or cap faction? That jacket is screaming for a vintage Newsboy 6 panel!

Nice fit, sleeve length looks good to me (unless you are a biker) but for just space cruising that is a sweet ride!

Looks great Bret!
Good to see it on your back instead of on the floor!!!!

Thanks simonc.

These are two of the pictures I sent Mark to explain what I wanted. He hadn't seen an original jacket, just made it using the images. Pretty impressive!




Both are scans from the excellent Rin Tanaka books.

This jacket is more tapered in the back than Mark's version. I prefer the original. Maybe Mark can make a more tapered version, but that would entail making a new pattern.

I have only just noticed that there are jackets listed now. I like the NS2 a lot.

Yeah the webbie's really been redesigned and I think its great. Wish they had a few more styles...

That pocket on the NS3 is insane. Mark truly does some of the nicest work anywhere, and I wish him and his partner all the best.

 

[handymike]

Mark just put up a great variation on the NS3 pattern: (knit collar/ cuffs/ waistband)

Eric thought of you when I saw that button front would be perfect IMO

 

[handymike]

I wish he'd do a button front! Last I spoke to him he said not currently :-(
