Wow! Amazing! Those longer halfbelts are an underated style.
I’ve had a few over the years, including this really old Perfecto Brand. I like this Windward a bit more. Just a better fit.

I need to get a skiver, some seams was getting way too bulky. The waistband is a bit short but it’s what I had on hand. I liked the pattern, next one will be using better leather!

Love the collar and the chest zip angle is great but I wonder if it shouldn’t be moved down a bit and closer to the shoulder?

Ton,

Ton you mean the slant chest pocket? it certain needs to move down a bit, i agree, sometimes this type of visual detail can only be apparent after you made the jacket...then, shoot! a long process. but duly noted!

Yes that’s what I meant. It’s a good start though and I think you’ve really nailed the collar and the chest zip is a cool detail. Little tweak and it’ll be perfect!

I've said something like this one other time and this is that last time I'll say it but, how does Ton get, have, design, buy, sell soooo many perfect fitting, awesome jackets!?!? I'm sure this isn't an original thought but jeez, incredible.

Great physique also makes the jacket looks great on you, @ton312 knows that. That's why almost every jacket he got looks great.


@ton312 looks great in any look he goes for, the more pattern he tries the better it is for everyone

That’s mighty high and generous praise coming from you two, both of whom have the best fitting leather jackets on this forum.

Please don’t take it the wrong way but I’d like to offer some defense for Aero here :) the cuff top stitch that Aero is showing is a very different seam. It has four layers of leather plus lining, the cuff (sleeve extension type) has three and no lining. Also when it’s put together, it’s laid flat, very easy to sew straight line (industrial machines can do six or seven layers IF it’s flat).
