Stratoliner Jacket Part 2

[fishmeok]

I'm in between hides right now so I decided to use up the rest of the cowhide I made the last two Luftwaffe jackets out of. It's another Stratoliner with two inside pockets, lightweight wool liner (heavy satin on the sleeves), wool knits, and some new "cinnamon" mouton I picked up a while back (too difficult to find vintage red mouton that is usable- I have a big bag full of stuff that looks good, but cracks when you try to use it for a collar). The zipper is a modern Talon. Hand pockets are lined with cashmere/cotton blend corduroy for that luxurious feel....
Cheers

Thanks- This is a fun jacket to make. I'm kind of surprised at how warm the big mouton collar is. I can see why these were so popular back in the day...

Fishmeok;

You do great work. I just wish you could work in sheepskin and build me a custom B-3
