I sure hope so, and plan to try to make sure it is. I love this leather.

Nice, I will be ordering one, but with alterations on back length and shape.
Whereabouts are you located, in the States?

Are these not made to order, as the "custom fit" title says?
They are, but if the customizations are beyond the normal limits of sizing and involve changing the pattern, it may be an issue. If you let me know just what alterations you're looking for, I can check if it'll cost more.

Well, not knowing your sizing, it will be difficult to say.... I have a very v shaped torso. Broad shoulders, chest, small waist....more of a body builder torso.
Also, I do not want the "ducktail" back...I want it straight, like most jackets.

So you want it more fitted, less straight down, and straight on the bottom?

I have a 44" chest, 32" waist..probably more like actually H Jackman proportions.....The back slopes down, don't want that, just straight across, like other regular jackets.

Sorry, I'll have to bow out.
Ok, shouldn't be a problem or any extra cost.
Looking good. Does the "ducktail" on the screen used one come down as low as this? Looks fine in the side-on pic, but kinda looks funny on the square-on pic of the back. I'm sure you've done your homework to match it up. Just surprises me that it swoops down that low.

I think the side shot is way more accurate. Looks like the camera is distorting things a bit in the straight on shot of the back. Here's a shot that shows the shape of the back, it's not nearly as extreme as the back shot shows.
That straight back shot makes the kidney panel look enormous. This is supposed to be a short jacket but the shape adjustments made it really long. Kidney panel should cover the small of your back. So on a size 44 the back length would only be around 24.5" including the kidney panel which would make up 7" of that total.
That's what always turned me off to the wested. It's just too long. Could you post some measurement specs so we can understand where the current jacket lands? I think that would help a lot of folks considering a purchase. Are all the pics in the 1st post of the revised jacket. The thumbnail one on the bottom looks like a completely different jacket lengthwise.
Thanks.

I just noticed that he made an error on the cuffs as well. Looks like he accidentally switched them as the part that dips the furthest should be on the outside going over the back of the hand. In the current position the deepest part covers the palm. Not functional. He needs to reverse them.
In the first post, the thumbnail is a different jacket, it's the old sample. I didn't know how to remove it when I was editing the first post.
There's a chance that this newest sample is still too long, but I can promise that it will be more accurate in production. I'll try to get some actual measurements, and it'll get corrected it it's too long.

Definitely won't be like that on the production jackets.
