Taking notes.
Someday I'd love to visit Horween... but for the proximity to my favorite Irish pub in Chicago.

That magic hour where the lighting is perfect and the Florida sun is subdued. I scored a mint '72 Star 7823 and sent it up to Steve Sellers to put real mouton on the collar and he did an absolutely smashing job on it. Yet another satisfied customer. Now I'm dying for jacket weather

Vincent,
as far as I know, the pattern was made after a couple of "specimen", not sure how many were original, though. It wouldn't surprise me, as Shawn has acquired quite a collection of original WWII jackets in the last year.
I will do an in depth review some time, but from a first glimpse one could say that @Shawn Ali ´s jacket definitely checks the obvious boxes:
- Shoulder seam is centered below epaulette
- collar snaps are hidden behind lining
- washers for the collar hook eyelets
- sleeves are inset
- the shoulders are square and give an overall boxier appearance
Knits are 100% wool, and are the best I got from FS so far. It's good to see that Shawn is still twisting the tiny screws to get his product forward....

The famous detail what supposed make the jacket more confortable !
Did you notice that ?
Indeed I own a Werber from @Shawn Ali made in 2019. I measure the gap with the last jacket made.
