      Fantastic.  Be sure to let everyone know how the jacket fits and best of luck for the job.

                Hey, I am 6'3", 200lbs and I have the Heron from Self Edge.  I am not sure if the vintage fit works for my build.  What do you guys think?  Is it too short?

                  a pic taken by someone else straight on would make it a lot easier to give fit advice. just saying

                      i think it looks good.  I agree with the straight on fit pic.  Might want to layer a bit more underneath to snug up the fit a bit if thats your thing.

                            Looks good from what I can see but, as mentioned above, a straight on fit pic would make it easier to tell.  I've always found with my Heron that it looks better layered under a shirt or sweater, rather than just over a t-shirt.  This seems to fill out the tube-body of the jacket better, imho.  Nice pick up.  Photos of the brown leather I've seen look tremendous and it will only develop more character with time.

                              I have huge boner for the 1910 Canuck Railroad Jacket.  Shit looks badass. I shot an email to Himel and they start at $2250.

                                  I am going to keep it.  It does look good when it is layered.  I also recently adjusted the side straps, and it improved the fit.

                                        finally tried these on at Self Edge this past weekend.  Quality and finish was outstanding, ~~but the cut was not.  I probably could have gone down a size, but I dont think that would have eliminated the issues I found in the cut.  Bummer. ~~

                                        EDIT** actually, I dont think its fair to assume that a smaller size would not eliminate the issues I found.  I should try on a proper size when they are available.

                                            I may have something else to contribute to this thread in the not too distant future…

                                            Just to make good on this promise…

                                            This is my new Himel Brothers Canuck Jacket in black oil tanned horsehide.  I'm a big fan of David Himel's work and I can't tell you how excited I was to receive this jacket.  The style is derived from an old work jacket which David picked up made by the long-defunct "W. Shanhouse and Sons" company.  For me it epitomises old-school practicality mixed with understated cool.  Please find my pictorial review below:

                                            I picked the burgundy wool liner and was pleasantly surprised at how soft and non-scratchy it is.  I also really like some of the details on this jacket such as how the collar and the adjustment tabs are wool-lined on their reverse side.  Other details include corduroy around the armpits and black cotton drill in the arms.

                                            The quality of the stitchwork on this jacket is amazing.  I've got a bunch of leather jackets and was just blown away by the attention to detail.  Buttons, by the way, are vintage melamine.

                                            Of course, this beauty is proudly made in Canada and comes with a cool union tag…

                                            My (very limited) photo skills always desert me when taking timer shots of myself so apologies about the quality of these fit pics…

                                            Thanks for looking!  🙂
