Who made that and what is the leather??? It looks luxurious.

I wear a 41-42 if this doesnt work for you.

Thank you my friend, John Chapman really makes works of art.

I hope you are doing well Dave. Maybe watching the US Open golf?

Sorry, I forgot to say it’s Dark Italian russet HH. About 1 mm thick.

It’s much more pliable than Shinki. It feels nice in the hand and there will be virtually no break in required

Well dammitt.... You must be home by now. Why no pictures??

Andrea must think you look so good in it she won't leave you alone.

I'll tell her you said that

Here are a few pictures. He just puts so much detail into his jackets ... the labels, and subtle things like the French seams, corozo buttons, talon zippers and vintage side adjusters.

Another nice touch is that he used a different thread color for the gimped button holes and it matches the adjustable collar perfectly.

John Chapman is a sweet man and has a real passion for vintage reproductions and it shows. He is just a real pleasure to work with

Sorry about the laundry in the background... Andrea has been too busy chasing me around the housefront_flat.jpgback_flat.jpg

Here is my latest…

A custom Thedi Niko in tan buffalo. Pretty happy with the fit as I wanted a little extra room to layer without it looking like trash bag.
