Crazy cool!!
It's a sad day at the Handymike Hacienda...
After trimming my beautiful Kehoe, I'm under the impression it might be a ladies jacket.
First unzipped
Then zipped:
Finally, zipped with balls:
Good news is that Alan @ Johnson Leather says he can tailor it to fit like a man's jacket.
Bad news is he is closed for the next couple of months.
If anyone is looking for a wonderful gift, this is a beauty!
As it stands now, the jacket is going to wait out Covid-19 in "Isolation."

Uh - yeah - about that! ... Isolation & re-gifting it along may be the best solution here. At least it gives a good chuckle, but not after all the work you have put into this one.

There is just absolutely no way on earth that's a ladies jacket!

I'm a real boy!
I think just the yoke being there, and lack of chest pockets that usually has leather "frame" underneath that will push that type of diagonal creases lower, on this jacket it is happening higher.
I dunno, but once it's tailored it will be incredible- slimmer upper sleeves, less chest room, and that J-100 taper....
Perfect jacket when done...but...how much $$$ ?!?

It fits you really great to begin with. That's why I insisted you liberate it from the horrid fringe. I mean, it fits you like Super's J-100, maybe even slightly trimmer. I don't think the J-100 is really all that trim, being an OTR style. Not if you don't wear one 2 sizes too small but usually, all the J-100's I've seen appear somewhat roomy, even for a CR. Maybe I'm wrong, though and someone who's handled one can correct me. The Beck 666 is trim! Though it has baggy sleeves but that's a fitted jacket alright.
There's usually always some excess space in the chest area of vtg jackets. You know that, though. That Sears I'm selling, it's a size 38 and still has 23" chest.
Aaah, doesn't matter. What matters is that the jacket looks awesome on you! If I had millions of $$$, you know what I'd do? I'd have JL install chest pockets into the seams 'cause I can't live without those. But other than that, you're set.
