I don’t mind at all. If you need any details from it feel free to ask. Happy to help.

Thanks! Yep..I think the changes made were a big improvement.

It’s the old style reddish brown

Follow up to my previous postings. I took Shawn up on his offer of a discounted remake to address the sizing concerns I had with the original jacket. Also changed a couple things like knits and collar. I’m happy with the size adjustments made. Shawn also made this new jacket with a heavier...

I agree. I just measured the P2P Again and it’s also to small. I ordered 21.5” it’s only 21”. Which is what the original picture showed when he first sent me measurement pics...and when I questioned it he sent me a second picture that showed 21.5”...but its clearly not, at least when I measure...

Received the jacket: It looks real nice. The leather doesn’t have any bad smell as some mentioned, it’s fine. the leather is comfortable and I love the color of the leather, stitching, Knits and liner...all came together really well. The mouton though is a lot more red than I thought it would...

Second update: Shawn reached out to me quickly (Same day) and addressed all of my concerns to my satisfaction. Also sent additional pictures. looks like it’s a “go”. Will update with pics and fit pics once received. Here is a teaser pic

Yes, other than the fit concerns I have and a couple very minor things, the jacket looks amazing. The close up pics he sent that I did not post here show a gorgeous leather and the stitching and all the details look very good. I am impressed with the quality of the work from the pictures.

Update: Got my “your jacket is ready to ship” email. The jacket looks outstanding in the pictures. Overall he nailed it. There are some concerns though. first, the P2P came in at 21”.I ordered 21.5”. second, I followed the instructions on how to measure the hem on his webpage. The Pics show...

If you are asking me...I did not specify rib rack, I only asked that they be wool. we haven’t finished corresponding yet so I may inquire about rib rack since the original jacket has that feature. keeping it bare. No patches.

Ok. So I just emailed Shawn my final measurements and requests. seal premium goat leather( as thick as possible with all panels being equal in thickness including pockets) Liner Seal heavy Polyester #1 Russet Brown Knits Dark cognac thread Horn buttons Reddish brown mouton collar (wish it was a...

Interesting. Was this the semi aniline 1.2mm Goat or the premium goat? Did you measure it when you first received it to rule out any difference in the way you measured it vs Shawn measuring it? I’ve run into that several times with other manufacturers jackets where what they said the measurement...

Ok. Next question. Regarding fit. I have pretty much an idea for the shoulders and sleeves. But, I’ve never owned a jacket with armpit gussets. I have a 39” Actual chest measurement. Jackets I currently have range from 21-23” P2P. Different patterns tend to fit differently. So in this style...

Thank you for taking the time to write me a well thought out and informative reply. I don’t take offense, you did not come off as rude. I agree with you. At first I felt like I knew exactly what I wanted...then i went down the rabbit hole of the Internet reading every post I could find here...

Hi All. New to VLJ but have been lurking for some time. I’ve had many leather jackets, Aero’s, RMC’s, BR’s, and Thedis. my most recent purchase is a shawl collar Thedi, have a Aero Premier HWM on order, and just started an order with Shawn to produce a Custom AN-6552 knock off. Based somewhat on...
