Good move. Getting a custom fit is definitely worth the wait, imo.Update ........ The stock jacket was in HH so ordered a Supersportsman in 44" in black sheep with black lining
Rip was excellent throughout and it is interesting that they will infact do a 44" in sheep when the website says 42 is the maximum
Just a waiting game now

I also ended up putting in a second order for a BRG Cyclone after seeing some of the green sheep skin jackets shown on here.I’ve felt really tempted to place an order lately, need to ask about wait times because I would want to wear it on my upcoming trip (when a sheep jacket would be just right)— and of course I wouldn’t want it to arrive while I’m away.
I’m also running about 10 lbs heavier than my usual weight given my current activity level, which reverses pretty quickly when I’m in my normal routine, so I’d have to make sure it’s sized according to my usual size, not something that would be too big in usual times.
Lewis veg sheepskin is really special.
If it were black as a choice, veg tan sheep would be a better choice than the rutland sheep?
I think someone said the rutland was tougher but mine would be purely for enjoyment so I wouldn’t worry about it like someone riding.
Depends on the model and personal preferences, but they are completely different hides: The Rutland Sheep is more rugged and pebbly, and also more durable to abrasion etc., while the regular one is smoother.
