Thank you (and many thanks for sharing tips via PM)! It would have been a slimmer fit, but I lost about 15 pounds in weight from the time the pattern was made to when the jacket arrived. Briefly thought about contacting Greg about that, but I still had the toile and when I tried it on again...- BlueSteel

Hi! I do not know the answer there. But I can tell you that when I received the toile mock-up, the top hem of the shoulders were extending too far beyond my actual shoulders. So when I asked for adjustments, one of those was to narrow the top shoulder hem by 1 inch on each side, which Greg did.- BlueSteel

Thank you! Good heft indeed. This is not the thinner/pliable stuff. I agree that this pattern really highlights Greg's stitching skills. If you see this jacket strolling around Vancouver, it is me! If you see a nearly identical one in Europe, that would likely be @Tom71- BlueSteel

Greg has finished my jacket...and made it "Insta-famous" (lol) by posting pics of it on the Field Leathers Instagram. I am so thrilled with how it looks - now counting down the days until I get my hands on it!!!- BlueSteel

After waiting the requisite time, I am pleased to say that Greg is currently working on my bespoke Michigan in blue shinki HH (inspired by/copied from @Tom71 ). So far the process has been a pleasure, and the extra 100 pounds to get the toile sent to me was well worth it - couple tweaks...- BlueSteel

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
Nice herringbone! I've been eyeing vintage Harris Tweed blazers myself, but the ones I'm seeing for sale in my size from vintage sellers are more like $70-$120. Still not bad, but can't compete with $4.69!!!!!!- BlueSteel

Help! Unbranded jeans feel crushing my balls
I'll politely disagree. I have about 15 pairs of selvedge jeans that range from $40 (Uniqlo) all the way past $400 (Stevenson Overall, Iron Heart, etc.) My best fitting, most worn, and very well-constructed pairs are Unbranded (made in China/Macau from Japanese selvedge) and Uniqlo (made in...- BlueSteel

Help! Unbranded jeans feel crushing my balls
Huh - I suspect you bought the wrong make/model/fit in the Unbranded lineup. I often find many brands and fits of jeans to be tight in the crotch...so I solved the problem by buying 2 models of Unbranded selvedge and they fit me great. In a very general sense, if you have this fit problem you...- BlueSteel

Brooks leathers
Hi Folks, The Brooks landed today and I am thrilled! The jacket looks practically unworn for an item near 50 years old. In fantastic condition! That bottom hem is soooooo close to even...close enough for me to be very happy. BTW the jacket is labelled as a 46 and it is TTS, but considering...- BlueSteel

Just as an illustration of what I'm talking about, here is a link to a later Brooks sold by Thurston Bros that has this issue...but I have seen many where the uneven hem is even more prominent: https://www.thurston-bros.com/products/vintage-brooks-cafe-racer-jacket-size-38- BlueSteel

Yes - I agree the two above are nicely even and look great! Hope mine is like these...I have seen quite a few where it looks like the hem is uneven by close to an inch! :(- BlueSteel

Just reviving this older thread about Brooks. Have one on its way to me (ebay buy), and excited for it to arrive. But one thing I noticed when looking at a lot of pics of gold label Brooks CRs...many of them seem to have uneven bottom hems - what I mean by this is that when the jacket is...- BlueSteel

SOLD-Y2 Black Horsehide Leather Rider Jacket 44
Great week to be a size 44 based on the current BST ads! Would love to have this one, but sadly I'd likely need a 48 in this sizing. Beautiful jacket though - GLWS!- BlueSteel

Footwear to go with our jackets
Slight thread drift here, but I have had a bit of a tough time in the past matching a casual/jeans belt to my Color #8 shoes and boots, so was happy to just learn this... FYI (and no affiliation...just a happy customer) Popov Leather in British Columbia is doing a preorder until the end of this...- BlueSteel
