Dude... That's perfect. If you bought it from Eastman for $2000 it would've been perfect but the fact that you made it makes it... I don't even know.

Cheers! :) Have yet to fit the front buckle, it well really finish it off.


Today I'm wearing my cheap ebay special repro of a Dunhill jacket as worn by Daniel Craig in the movie Layer Cake. It's light as a feather and very soft lamb. Have it about 4 years now and its gotten a LOT of wear and still holding up well. Might need to retire it for a while for some repairs though :)

Not many jacket days left in Texas, today I am wearing my new-to-me, originally inexpensive, A-2 jacket. I picked up a broken-in Cooper A-2 jacket because it was dirt cheap. It is in decent shape and fits me like a glove, but . . . the knits were shot (no holes, but no elastic left). So, I ordered some brick red knits from overseas (more $$ than regular replacement knits) and had Siggy paint a 755th BS patch for me. Once the knits arrived, I dropped them off with my reasonably-priced tailor that has worked on my other leather jackets - and did not ask what a replacing the cuffs and waistband would run - I should have! While I am certainly happy with the final product, I probably could have just ordered a new jacket from Eastman at this point!
