Limited Run Wolverine Origins custom fit leather jacket

[Zlurpo]

Ok, leather prototype is made:









And here's the image I sent to show corrections:

Front zippers a bit shorter and more tilted, stripes a bit more spaced out, bottom panel more tapered and smaller near the zipper, cuffs are more elongated over the backs of the hands, shoulder stitching added, snap visible on the collar strap, deeper back collar dip... Am I missing anything?

I think the arm stripes are still much too low.

And the space above and below the zippers don't seem balanced somehow. Can't put my finger on it.

I think the zippers are too low, I put them where the leather pulls hang down to instead of where the zipper ends.

I think this version looks much better and the changes you have suggested again make it look near perfect (with slightly higher chest zippers). One small think I have noticed is that they have made the cuffs longer but havent seemed to manage the shape correctly. I believe the front of the cuff (top of the hand) needs shortening by about an inch and the back (palm of hand) needs shortening by about 1.5 inches maybe.
Brilliant progress for this model though and the leather colours are looking good also!

Updated version pictures coming soon!

Updated version:



The only change not visible in this picture is that the collar dips down in a slightly stronger v shape in the back now.

Very nice!

They seem to have nailed it this time. The cuffs and pockets are far better and the whole thing is really shaping up great.

 

[Dracondas]

That looks great!

Looking good so far! I noticed a couple things that stood out right away. Your zippers are too long and too far away from the center. The end of the base color is too tall and needs to angle up more to the sides. Orange section of collar stand is a bit too tall. Haven't had time to look at the back.

Overall looks great.View attachment wXOjacketOL copy.jpg

Looks good. Can't wait to see the final version. I'm sure I'll be wearing one of these soon!

This is now a sales thread, with information in the first post on how to order and pay.

Can we get a final spec on the leather weight? Functionality is of greater concern than accuracy for me. Ounces or millimeters will do.

It'll be 1.2mm cowhide.

Do you have a current pic of the back? The one I see has to be the older version as the stripes are not in your current version's position. There's a couple things right off the bat that the older one has off. I can help point you more in a screen accurate direction if I can see a current pic. This is shaping up beautifully so far.

I don't have a whole back shot of the updated version, but if you want to use the older version and point out any changes you think it needs, I'd love to see it.

OK, here's some help on the back. Shapes look good, it's more detail oriented. Sleeve zips are too short. They should also be off center and on interior of sleeve side. Sleeve seam stays straight and continuous through cuff.

Add stitching to balance back center seam as it should have it on both sides.

Outside brown section of shoulder is too wide and stitching should be closer to edge.

Kidney panel and cuffs share the same shape with a definite swoop down then gradually curving to lowest point. Cuffs also have a raw edge to them.

I can;t tell from your front pic, does it have the seam detail on the chest panel that follows shoulder seam leading into outer/bottom shoulder line detail seam (of the 4)?

Can't wait to see this come out.

Fantastic stuff, thank you. Yes, it does have the shoulder/chest panel stitch line now.

I should have some shots of it on a mannequin soon, but I think this shows it well!!
