Always dig your style but this just might be my favorite yet. I wish I had a tenth of your artistic design ability. I can only imagine that it's even more satisfying for you to see your vision come together and to be able to wear a truly one off.
Thanks man, i truly enjoy wearing it and looking it as room decoration, the hide is 1.5mm and 2mm tooling leather to make wallet, keyfob, belt loop, and the tailor is usually work with soft leather and the whole thing being experimental, so up close especially at the facing near the collar inside where last minute decission was made since the leather was too thick to fold there, but as a whole i see it as part of its identity being a prototype. It has raw edges, stained blue by the brass metal hardware itself on one sleeve i think they left a stud on it overnight on the desk and saw it stained the next morning and tried to clean it so it got worse , marked, empty needle hole since it cant go further, so much character from the start, and being natural pale vegtan it would add a lot more pretty soon, i wore it wet yesterday leaning against my seat, and the dust on my back rest already stained the back and the netting texture of my lumbar pillow marked it while wet :D So happy with it and looking forward to see how it transforms into

BTW I wet moulded the small pockets one with measuring tape, the other with a deck of playing card:)

Dude, that looks awesome, you should consider designing clothes as a part time job at least.

Thanks @Fonzie
I love to see my drawing got made, is a fun experience indeed, just dont know who want to trust a freelance comic artist with architecture degree, and zero education in clothing to be designing jacket for them hahaha

It got a shade darker perhaps after some uv exposure and light conditioning. Totally dry and stiff like a brand new boot.

Did it shrink? Did you submerge the jacket in the bathtub or just sprayed it?

No just the tip of the hem sticking forward, and the creases along the sleeve is still stiff. With my older jacket that looked like that after first wash, it will ease up after awhile.

A very nice but ill-fitting Taubers...

Hence why it's going into the classifieds!
I like that body length in these pics. Sleeves a little to short though imo.

short body and long sleeves i like. All around short just looks too short. Same goes for all around too long. I feel same about length and jackets being too trim or loose. I like a looser, longer sleeve, shorter jacket. Long all around and trim I feel like I am wearing a tube sock.

Same jacket (well, my only jacket). Starting to break in and feel more comfortable. The boots are new, and are a pretty rough break in (doesn't help that I lost my toenails skiing this year).

I am sure you said it somewhere. Can you pls remind me what the jacket is? Looks really cool, and couldn’t fit any better.
