I'll Lock Up

I think the sleeves are perfect. That's a great looking jacket. Congrats.
I find the sleeves and the overall look perfect. If you are worried about the sleeve, this can be corrected by putting on a shirt under the jacket and it will visually lengthen the sleeve of the jacket.
Looks OK to me. The shoulders are quite wide, so the sleeves seem to be adjusted accordingly. If you have storm cuffs , it should be perfect.
I have the same problem, and all I found was this:

Good find. I've got a 70's Schott 618 coming that has Talon zips, but one of the pulls is broken. This is a good lead, but I need to find silver one.
These are the exact pulls I need, but for $15/pop a little too pricy for just a pull. Bu these are nice vintage pocket zips if somebody needs a whole zip:

It's just for the body, and I plan on finding something soft that won't itch. The sleeves will use thinsulate unless I can find a non synthetic alternative that's easy to slip on. That might be a whole issue on it's own.
I'm not sure if anyone knows anything about fabric weight, I was trying to find a good weight for the liner. I know that the classic peacoats and overcoats used some 32oz+ Melton or Kersey wool, while modern ones are usually in the 20oz range. Would a 15-20oz wool be too much? I was looking at some of the Trench coats with removable liners, and most of them look pretty thin.

Man, if I ever got me a jacket like this then I'd need a special gusset or swing bi-action around the belly...

For one time use only.

Yeah, looks like 0.6mm lambskin
Since he also drives his motorcycle with it, it must be kangaroo leather lol

I've never handled thinsulate before but I saw some gloves use that as lining too so that must work.
Oh boy you got me there, don't know anything about any of that stuff. Maybe go to your local fabric store to ask around and touch the fabrics too?

What did you do with the bonus hair on chin and head ?

it is too small across the chest and sleeve, but also too large everywhere else including the neck, it would fit ideally for someone with a huge neck but stick for arms, narrow chested and big mid section I can't imagine human being can achieve this mixed proportion in one body

I like it.
Maybe it's because I sometimes have a strange taste
And it is also for sure that the target group that can wear something like this is vanishingly small.
perfect for the "over 50 wearing leather..." thread
