How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

My shearling from 5 * has arrived. I call the model "Frankenstein" or "Wolpertinger" because it is a mixture of D-1, B-3 and trucker jacket.
Good thing: no plastic packaging, but a box.
First impression: in terms of weight, significantly lighter than I had assumed. I have to weigh, but subjectively the Aero Shearling is heavier.
I took 10 mm of fur and it almost seems a little short to me. But it goes well with the style and I have the Aero as really warm anyway. Unfortunately, the measurement at the waistband is 3 cm more than desired, all other measurements fit. The buckle on the side adjusters and neck are very cheap. The leather ******** the neck also looks improvised. I would like something more professional.
Take a closer look tomorrow in the light.

I like it! I love it, in fact. Back bothers me a bit, the middle seam thing is a bit strange (I'd have added it at the level of the side adjusters) but overall, I think it came out really nice. Unique, fun and seems like a jacket that'd really do wonders for any winter.

That looks like a fun project overall! Curious to see how it will fit!

Thanks :)
My first reaction to the pictures of Shawn was "oh no". But the more I looked at it, the more potential I saw ;-)
But the first time I tried it on, I was convinced that the jacket looked better than expected.
It's so cool to be able to design your own jacket. That really adds to the experience imo.

Ton, sorry to hear your jacket is delayed. I'm curious to see what you have come up with this time.
