When we worked up my BK A-1 together, Platon and Andy (of Bill Kelso) were an extremely easy team with which to work. They were prompt with replies to e-mails, responsive to requests for changes to pattern/configuration and the workmanship on the resulting jacket was really top notch.
As Mark has already said, the Victory capeskin is a great hide to wear.
Hope you get plenty of cooler weather in Reading, Mark!
Thanks Dr H, yes Andy was great to work with and very accommodating particularly so with my Waldo pepper, always willing to meet my requests when he could.
Regarding the Capeskin; I am finding that it is despite the lightness/thinness of the hide a deceptively warm jacket. I may have to wait until Autumn to get any real wear time out of it. All is not lost though as I find the WP's Liberty HH quite cool to wear.
