I'm very excited to announce that all the issues have been corrected and I have the very first perfect prototype. I dropped it with the photographer right now to make sure you'll see in high quality pictures everything I fixed but right now let me address directly the issues that we solved:
Sleeves are now divided in four parts with the rectangular piece over the elbow.
Stitching is on the right shoulder.
Slightly bigger greeblies pocket.
Rectangles on the flaps.
That plus a few more inaccuracies I found, more small details than anything. That being said, I couldn't find magnets small enough but with a hold so strong that it had held strongly through several layers of lining and leather. They can close the jacket but it will open easily. Fortunately, Han Solo never closed his jacket (in fact I have not found any information on whether or not the movie used jacket was even able to close at all) so I hope that's not an issue.
Also after a lot of time spent looking for it I'm happy to let you guys know that I found the screen accurate 100% cotton lining. It's more expensive but I'll have an option to include that if wanted.
The leather we're using is already top quality (as anyone who has received one can confirm), I actually spent a full month with leather makers directly checking tones and finishes to get the exact brown-shades-to-black tone. The leather used for these jackets is designed by me personally and exclusively for this run, since the original movie tone did not exist as such.
I'll have pics in a couple of days, this has definitely been a more challenging run but once you receive your jacket, see the screen accurate high quality leather with perfect stitching and feel just how comfortable and good it looks, you'll definitely know that the time spent on it was worth it.
