Thanks Tony, it was a pleasure. Had I never found this forum, I would have been happy to settle with an orange sheepskin jacket, would never have tried to visit this tailor who by their own models I wouldn't think they can make jackets I like, but since I wanted a jacket worthy of shown here, I dared to draw a jacket design even if I never learned anything about clothing design and study more about things I drew and learned a lot in the process throughout ordering, and watching how they made it step by step, what consequences of my drawing, whether it is possible or not, if it would fit right or strange, and what to change on the next one. I'm happy to share the experience here.

No funny Ri-Ri zippers, no stainless steel clasp...no plastic pocket and cuff buttons...all brass Eclair zips, “Ersatz” wooden buttons and nickel plated iron buckle....as the WWII were...

Breaking in/remolding my new (to me) Bootlegger. Really comfortable jacket with excellent mobility, makes throwing tennis balls easy. The jacket is over 8lbs so it's a bit of a workout too. I love the brown chromexcel steerhide in the sun, it has a really rich depth. I'm the third owner of the jacket but it's really starting to feel like my own.

Looks amazing. Perfect fit, as made for you. And I believe you are the first owner to actually wear it, so it should certainly feel as your own!

@ton312 If you would actually keep one of your jackets long enough to break in to look like this, you'd stop selling them again every time and would finally be done! :D

The jacket looks great! I hope that you have figured out how to pack these better for shipping. I would hate to have that line on the back when I opened up the box...

Its a test jacket, it will not be shipped unless someone buys it away.
However, a bit of leather balm and its gone...can show it tomorrow if interested..thats the beauty of our Ritter HH “ France 1940 “ look...plus we never fold our jackets when shipped.

So many great jackets here lately....makes me really resent the hot weather we are having.

@VestCoast that looks great, perfect fit on you. At first I didn't realise I was looking at THE v2.0 and was blown away by the details, the collar tab and I'm really digging the zip sleeves, kinda wish I had them on mine now then again, I'm still only rocking' my version of a type v1.0 ;)
