Oh yes, every hole has to be considered individually. With leather, if you punch a hole too close to the edge it becomes very weak (with fabric that is not as big of a problem). I'm drawing the template in Solidworks, in which I'm going to position every single stitch hole. Then the template...

Ok! I may do it it the next days. If I do, I'll let you know here.

Yes, sewing machines can be very restrictive, that's why most companies will skive the edges. I'm in the process of making my own leather jacket out of 5.5oz leather. It will be hand stitched, thus I could use any thickness of leather I wanted.

No problem! That's why I asked ;)

That's great! I'm happy for you and can't wait to continue reading this thread. Can we take guesses on what company that is? I'm pretty sure I know... :D

I agree that the leather lining would be awesome. Probably not warm, though.

The creases on this jacket will look gorgeous!

Congrats for placing your order! Did he give you a wait time? This is such a nice project I can't wait to see it ready :D
