Beautiful day in my neck of the woods today. Was able to get some decent natural light photos. Been trying to tame this CXL FQHH beast for the past month. Just starting to get some sleeve creases and nice grain to appear.
Ah 2” more in the body and 1” more in the sleeve and I’d have been all:Belated post.

I really wanted that one to work but I’m happy to act as a Shepard along the way.

Excellent grain, look and fit. Keep it going.

Breaking in new jacket surely
This is the latest development, this is why I like unstitched sleeve hem, so I can shape them
This is such a great jacket! I cannot believe you designed this masterpiece!!! I mean, yeah, we have awesome jackets here but this is next level shit. I am really happy that you are part of this forum and we can witness this.
It’s so unique and yet so wearable. I think this is a rare combination. And from what I’ve learned here in this forum about you, this jacket an expression of yourself.
I wished more people would be experimental like this instead of copying the exact same jacket they saw on somebody else. Don’t get me wrong, I love the classics but this is special and I like special and different, haha.
Thanks A 1, im flattered by your kind words, i guess having a little ability to comunicate idea through drawing has been helping me a lot explaining things from jacket, to home renovation, especially since sometime i dont know technical vocabulary in those trades, so i get my point across by pantomiming and doodling on paper .
I also get so lucky living in a place where having this custom jacket doesnt really cost me my kidney, so I able to try stuff and learn from.
Inevitably the space sherrif continues
Sorry guys i got both jacket and jeans to break in.... so this ll be likely my uniform for months to come

The no collar neck with that lapel is wizardry. Hell, the whole thing is wizardry!
It’s been a treat watching the process from sketch to jacket. Thank you

Navatsea you're an artist man. Kudos to you.
As for me . . . it was 104 degrees here on Saturday. I can honestly say right now, I hate even the idea of a jacket.

Today....i wanted one of these for a long time. I knew they were different through the decades. This one is a vintage Coast Guard peacoat from the late fifty's i believe?? I couldn’t ask for a better condition.
Be well. Bowen

I don't think a non photo post is allowed in this thread unless it is a store brand rombolous winter coat or maybe it's Sister.

I’ve not worn deerskin before and I’m really impressed - it’s a combination of goat grain and weight and the tenacity of steer (without the heavy weight).
Typical Freewheelers attention to detail and high quality construction. I’ve always avoided black leather jackets in the past, but this is a more matte finish, which I like.
