Sweet! I saw someone left a review on the jacket at your site. Just out of curiosity, if someone orders one now. What exactly would show up? The earlier prototype version?
Walking Dead Rick Jacket
- Thread starter Just A Dead Man
- Start date
The pattern has been updated, but we're still waiting on the new leather. If you ordered now, it could very well be done with the new, accurate leather. But if someone was in a rush (or there was a delay with the new leather) they would receive the previous leather. Regardless, you can place your order now and still put a note in the comments section that you want the newer leather and your order won't be done until the new stock arrives.
Has the length proportion to the sleeves been reevaluated as well? I know you do custom measurements regardless but I remember that was one of the main things pointed out in regards to the normal body length going below the waist I believe
Indy Magnoli Any update or progress with the sourced leather for a new prototype?
Hoping to have some news for this later next week...

wow this jacket has not taken very long? only been in production for 2 years
We've been making these for customers the entire time, but we continue to tweak it as we receive new information, so each jacket becomes a bit more accurate.

Think Indy started selling these back in the last summer or something along those lines?
Considering the build quality and communication as well as being able to have the jacket custom sized, I'd say it more than makes up for production time. Now that Indy has genuine leather from the real Ugg jacket and is able to source it, we're basically getting a customized genuine Ugg like jacket for half the price of the real deal
Looking forward to the next update Indy, hoping to place an order within the next couple months once taxes hit

Same here! Really excited for this. Can't belive i made this thread back in 2016 . I'm all for getting an UGG, but i haven't seen any in Medium or Large in over a year. I'm still hoping that Indy adds in the standard Medium size for this though.Considering the build quality and communication as well as being able to have the jacket custom sized, I'd say it more than makes up for production time.

is the collar dead accurate i mean EXACTLY like this picture? its notoriously difficult to achieve trust me ive spent hundreds of pounds on different jackets trying to explain to people how to design it but nobody anywhere has cracked it yet or even came cjose its highly frustrating!

As Indy mentioned, all custom jackets are made as such and you can request it to have the collar altered in that exact way or how the jacket originally shipped, however I am curious to see what the altered version looks like from Indy's design
Any news yet Indy Magnoli ? I know you mentioned there might be some dropping last week but I'm sure you're quite busy. Any pictures or something would be great, or any concepts for the altered collar?
We've been swamped with various projects, but just got some word that the new leather has arrived and we're starting on the updated prototype right now. The collar has been a bane from the start. It's a tricky one, for sure. It almost looks like they took the original collar, pushed the top of the zipper into the collar and then stitched it back flat to create that weird bulge and "disappearing" zipper. We're trying a few things to mimic this and will post once we have something to share.
Indeed that collar is a pain to replicate. It's hard to describe it with just words. I've made a sketch of it about how I think they've possibly done it. Since I have an original brown and an original black I had at least something to work with.

That's exactly what I had in mind as well! Glad to see I wasn't crazy with my thinking. We'll see about implementing something like this to mimic the original.
I'd say, start with making the collar as close to the original unaltered jacket (be it a mock/test collar for that matter), then apply the alterations. You could eventually maybe pre-design the alterations into the jacket model cut to maybe save some material, but I'm not sure if you'd be saving any material or if you'd get the same results.
i ave tried and failed with numerous companies to achieve this and the closest i have come is cutting the top of the collar my self to make the top of the collar go across and then up to achieve the pointy effect t and then have my local taylor stich it up for me i truly believe i have the most accurate collar on three of my jackets more than anyone anywhere! the only part i am missing is the bulgy part of the shearling that seems to fold over the ziptrack and round th the back of the top of the collar ha ha! if you see what i mean!
