I'm in love with this Kehoe that just arrived!
I'm posting these here for those who might appreciate the fringe.
I will be giving it a "haircut" this week and using the fringe strips as zipper pulls.

nooooo not the haircut lol

how do you find the shoulders’ width?

Edit to say: fit looks fantastic!
Thanks!
The whole jacket feels Perfect. Shoulders actually measure 17.25” across. It’s fairly lightweight- perfect for LA.

@handymike - if you just cut off the fringes won't their "stubs" be still visible? Or are you going to open up the seams and just remove them? I love this Kehoe as it has no kidney panel, bi-swing shoulders or side zippers. I like the hand warmer pockets. Killer jacket if the fringes are removed without a trace. May be easier said than done.

I agree, this is almost a Buco J-100, but with handwarmers that close downward. I think I can carefully slip a metal straight edge under the seam to get a close trim...I’m slightly hesitant, but other than a Midnight Cowboy costume it won’t get any wear with the fringe.

Send me a PM in a week and I’ll let you know if I was courageous enough to do it.

I have thought about doing this many times myself, but I dont know if I could either? Looking at the pic you can come pretty close and maybe clean. I'm looking forward to the outcome if you do give it a go. As cool as I think fringe jackets are in a different sorta way. I couldn't rock it either.

Please don’t do it handymike!
That jacket is just perfect as it is. I know you of all people can find a way to make this work. Any man who can wear a rug turned jacket can definitely rock a few fringes.
