:eusa_clap Wunderbar! My reference was to the first variety, but you are certainly right The KR200 would also qualify. I don't know which one has the draftier cockpit though :o
Looking good gentlemen! Thanks for posting such nice reviews. We're glad you are happy with our work. Enjoy your jackets, and post more pics when they are broken in after a few air-miles in the Messerschmitt :o
Best Regards,

Looking forward to it. The elastic is a good idea. I don't think the original Brimaco's had them but maybe they should've. Blown out pleats are SOOOO annoying! I've got vintage Kehoe cafe racers with action backs (long pleats down each side) that are permanently stuck in blow out mode but...
Hi Joel,
Thanks for the input. You say collar but are you referring to the collar or the lapels? The collar on the jacket you've linked to is actually longer and more pointed than my design. You may not see it since its folded down. Also, IMHO the jacket does not look dainty at all with the...
Not contesting Riri's quality as I was considering using them in the beginnning. They are very easy to access here in France. It has more to do with the esthetics. I couldn't find any puller shapes that I liked.
Don't know if you are familiar with Ideal but the quality is top notch and they...
No, you are right Marc. However, that detail does not necessarily date the jacket absolutely to teens or 20's IMHO. I agree with some of Tony's remarks. "Kutscher" jackets are quite common in Germany and you can find them easily in France. I have (and have had) nearly identical jackets...
That's a very macho remark Tony! I guess this is a vintage forum after all :)
Don't like the looks of those Riri's much myself. You are right that certain ones have that bling-bling effect (which I'm trying to stay FAR away from).
Wade,
Completely true about women and hardware. They could care less about the brand of zippers. My wife even mentioned that she preferred the zippers to be more "shiny" (yuck! go figure). Regardless, I will not be doing "shiny" finishes though. Have to draw the line somewhere ;). The...
You've certainly got ane eye for detail Tony! What you've pointed our are the same "functional" details I've incorporated in the men's jackets I make. The only thing that I left out of the the Woman's version is the inside pocket as it could interfere with....eum...lets say certain "curved...
Hi Wade / Mr. Illustrious,
Thanks for the kind words! Yes, indeed it is difficult to get the curves just right on a woman's jacket. Fully agree that leather has to be relatively soft to make sure it drapes, not only for fit but because I believe women don't care for stiff leather jackets...
