Who is the maker?

Who is the maker?

A new star is about to be born. In due time all will be revealed.

 

[ojaw]

He had some really heavy duck canvas that would make an awesome trucker, as well.

This would be my choice

Is it our friend in NY?

Party ****ers. You guessed it. Reg has really impressed me thus far. He has an incredibly detailed eye and understanding of the original patterns. I’m thrilled to be an early adopter!

Good choice, in my opinion his pattern looks far better than FL.

I proxied Marc’s Windward for him and literally spent hours staring at it. I conditioned it and I photo’d it from every angle. Really studied it. For me Windward jackets are THE jackets. My favorite label by far and a rare survivor in my vintage carousel.

I haven’t seen any maker even come close with this pattern, other than Reg. I have pictures of his finished products but I don’t want to post them without his permission. Needless to say, when I saw them I was absolutely certain he was the guy.

Just got shipping confirmation for my jacket from Aero ordered September 22. Pretty incredible turnaround time.

navy Vicenza. It would seem that the latest batches have good grains out the box. It also seems like Aero tweaked the stitch length/tension on this one. I didn't ask for it but it'd be a good surprise if they are changing their machine stitch set up. I am definitely taking out the measuring tape when it gets here... I think those fish eye buttons are 3/4" diameter. I counted 6 stitches, so it'd be 8 for the full inch? They used to be 6 for the whole inch.

Thanks man, the newsite sale and the exchange rates were very persuasive and I couldn't resist.

What colour stitching is that?

 

[Canuck Panda]

Hooche Hauler (aka Ridley I think).

Caramel stitch on navy Vicenza, same as how they do their Type 3 truckers.

This is on the way.

I suspect early Vanson, which would be great. If someone thinks differently let me know!

I really like that they are now finishing the thin end of the pockets with a double stich that is symmetrical, it looks much better than what they used to do when i ordered mine a few years ago.
