That looks great, definitely agree that the colors are spot on now, you’ve won me over!
Better pics of the first prototype. I think we've got everything worked out for the changes for the final version, and I plan to start taking pre-orders at a slight discount rate in my etsy shop very soon.
Planned fixes:
Custom knitting, to match the color and texture. Double stripes on the waist and cuffs, single stripe on the collar (possibly using the same double-stripe knit, sewn lower and colored, like it was in the film. Possibly custom single-stripe knit).
Change seams to double stitch rather than single where applicable.
Modify sleeve pocket to be more accurate.
Change stitching color and design where needed.
Switch to metal zipper with light gray zipper tape, and a reversible zipper pull.
Slightly darker gray tone.
Slightly darker blue, and more toward a peacock blue than the current royal blue (actually in the photos the blue looks pretty much perfect, but it's too purple in real life).

It will have the correct colors on all the knitting. This is just placeholder parts for the first prototype.

Just followed your Etsy in anticipation, absolutely placing my pre order as soon as it’s available
With all the changes made, it's not really even the Alpha jacket anymore. It's based on it.Very interested in this as well ZlurpoI found one of the Alpha's in my size but it got the wrong colors. I doubt it would be possible to dye or adjust it accordingly? Or would that even be an option. Anyway, appreciate your work. Looking forward to the final result.

There’s plenty of pictures and evidence that the jacket is reversible if you just search but here’s the director of the movie confirming it’s a reversible jacket (jump to 4:27), just to leave no doubt.
Please watch the first 30 seconds of this video clip from the movie:

This looks awesome. With the Alpha Industries one no longer being sold, I am very interested in a run!
