Gents,
This beauty arrived on February 19, hand delivered by JC himself after his trip to Horween. This one is copied from a size 52 original with 2 fewer inches in the chest. Jacket is a very good fit on me! Some quick notes:
Hide: Pebbly veg tanned goatskin. The pebbling ranges from coarse to fine. The hide also shows evidence of scarring, A-OK in my book.
Zip: NOS Talon. John dyed the zip tape.
Knits: I opted for the purplish knits.
Thread: 100% cotton in a dirty tan color, a lovely contrast against the hide.
Measurements:
Pit to Pit-- 27"
Shoulder seam to cuff end-- 26"
Base of neck to end of waistband-- 27.5"
Windflap length-- 25.5"
Epps (down the center)-- 7 7/8"
Shoulder to shoulder-- 21.5"
And, of course, some pics. The close-up of the zip and the pocket label show the color of the hide most accurately.
