Shaping up nicely M. With your updates, I am as excited for it as you are.

Almost there

This is looking wonderful. I'm sure it will be a joy to wear.

[Screaminmarlon]

Hope to gather this coat as spring breaks through

This jacket is inspiring. I'm tempted to have the 646 or LLTW 08 from the current offerings made into a similar design.

Does the jacket have vents? Also, is anyone able to post a link to a photo of Michael Alden's LL reefer jacket?

[Screaminmarlon]

rlambert
yes, it has one central vent. You may try to use the search using 'Reefer' (I can't remember the name of the thread, it should be in this very section of LL). I should have a jpg of it somewhere, if you can't find it I'll check,

That looks great! Now you have given me some ideas ScreaminM!

The tailor did an amazing job. That is going to be a very practical coat. Well done

Cheers

Thank you, Michael! My taylor's happy as I am for the coat.
Your Reefer coat was the inspiration, so I'm glad you like it

[alden]

I hope you get as much pleasure wearing yours as I do mine.

Mine is made of a 1000 gms overcoating and it is warm! And I chose a 6 x 3 style so I could button all the way up in really cold weather. But the 6 x 2 is very nice looking.

Cheers

It was meant as a 6x3, but a creative twist from my taylor brought the 6x2.
I prefer the 6x3, in September we'll see to that

[rlambert]

Michael - Thank you for re-posting the images of your reefer. I've decided to have something similar made up from the TW10 remake. Now, I am on the fence as to whether it would be better to use the dark brown side with patch pockets or the navy side with side pockets? There is probably no wrong answer to this question.

[alden]

rlambert

Both. The easy answer.

You might do the brown side a little longer with the patch pockets a la Polo coat; and the shorter reefer style with the blue side.

Cheers

Screamin, bellissima giacca! Very well done.

In my opinion, you should keep it as a 6x2. I like it very much the way it is.

Cheers, David
