Marcel, you rogue. What a jacket! Picture me green as grass, mon ami, that is very cool. Pics of you wearing it are mandatory the moment it arrives.

I'm really glad you like it Marcel- there are a lot of firsts for me in this jacket- inside pocket, mouton collar, coat-weight lining, adult sized slash pockets, etc. It was a lot of fun to make.

I spent a lot of time looking for a good lining, was seriously thinking about sheepskin but it would have added another $100 to the jacket price (at least the stuff I could find). I think the stuff I found is better anyway, it has less bulk and is probably just about as warm.

I didn't realize until I saw the pics above how close I am to that original collar- I was just using my favorite collar pattern. I guess my sensibilities are truly stuck in 1948...

Cheers
Mark
