How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

hmm from shipping document I found out 35sqfeet of 1.5mm thick vegtan cowhide weighs 3 kilos, so the rest of the weight would come from hardware and lining

Finished doodling my ideas, went to printershop, and drove to the tailor to order my final leather jacket ( i can think off for now) it is assymetrical to the last bits, and would look like pink pig when new and has a band collar, and lots more of top contrast stitching when the jacket is new (dark tan thread)... combination of elements i usually avoid, but now i will have it all in one, who would have thought.

Anyone got a ship john wills jacket in the waxed canvas stuff? @Boyo i think you had the langlitz ship john goat wills ? Did you size up on that ? Fit chart for Large is 23 seems kinda snug for a large chore coat /field jacket type thing if layering is needed
thanks in advance

@Psant25 .. Yes I did have the Langlitz/Ship John leather Wills.. it has since moved on, But at the time when I ordered the size chart they provided lacked the solid measurement info we are used to here. I think they now have some good info on the site and the posted measurements are probably pretty accurate.
The leather Wills I ordered was supposed to be a size XXXL but the jacket didn't have a size tag and measured differently than the chart they provided listed for XXXl so I really don't know what size I had

I'm waiting on a waxed Wills - number 529, which i should have in a few weeks. I ordered this one in XXL based on the posted measurements.

That denim "ramblin" jacket goes on sale on Friday at noon PST.. i haven't seen the price ** edit $250** or the size chart yet.
My advice is if you want one is to be ready at noon and buy any size.. there will be time to change your size during the lead time to make it.

Good advise thanks. Can you post how the wills fits? Hoping they speed up production sounds like they are trying for monthly batches of the wills. I would really like the rambler made in the waxed canvas. I asked them about making me up an m65 style field jacket in the waxed canvas they declined. Sounds like they are plenty busy.

Will do.. If all goes well i'll post some pictures etc on the forum. I think the current run goes to 550. once these are done he wants to do the monthly releases to avoid the long queue. The production team has certainly grown.. I'm pretty sure a year or so ago it was 1 or 2 people cutting and sewing jackets.. I think I saw a prototype of the rambler in waxed canvas.. I agree that would make for a nice jacket
