Looking sharp @ARNC … glad to see the East Wing is finally finished!

@Tobi … I have a 293 languishing in the wardrobe. You’ve just reminded me what a great shirt it is. Many thanks!

And damn fine you look too @SamD

thanks @ARNC and @pechelman for your wisdom and encouragement.
I have at least turned it round so I can admire the back.
This horse WILL have its day… but probably not whilst its so damn hot!

Welcome @Daysleepers
you’re off to a great start!

@pechelman …
the fit is perfect. Debs and I went through all the numbers many times. By the end, I think she knew my body better than I do!
In my case, it’s probably just a ‘kink’ in how my brain works!

After waiting 15 weeks for my first ever custom made garment (if you exclude the dungarees my Nan made for me when I was five), Ive taken this jacket out the box, put it on a hanger and starred at it.
For some odd reason, I can’t bring myself to put it on.
Its certainly not because I’m worried about damaging it or anything like that. Im the one who happily puts leather jackets in the washing machine and have even kicked them around the floor and attacked them with sandpaper.
A friend once told me he preferred waiting for something to getting it. Maybe thats what my problem is!? Maybe I don’t want to break the spell… after all, it is a very beautiful jacket and Im sure SB have added a little ‘magic’ into the seams.
Whatever the reason is, Id be interested to know if anyone else has encountered this phenomena.
PS. Its a ‘Bobber’ made from dark brown Blattwerk, and I suspect it’s going to improve my life greatly!

Im sorry to hear that @CosmoSix5
Im sure the right opportunity will arise for you soon mate. Good luck.

Great colour toning @John-Galt … but I didn’t recognise you without a door behind you! 🥴

Hi there @CosmoSix5
Ive just heard from Debs at Simmons Bilt that my Blattwerk jacket is ready to ship. Its been a long wait, but Im sure it’ll be worth it!
I seem to remember yours is on a similar time-line. Any news at your end? And what leather did you go for?
Perhaps we could compare fit-pics on the forum and tempt more people into the SB world!
