@tmg:
Those pics from Mushmans give a much better indication of how it might look, and I really like it - any word on price/availability G?
USD1,150. Once Haraki, McLain and I have finalised spec, we'll go into production. Haraki is taking a few for Japan, I'll probably just take pre-orders (we have literally run out of space in current offices - next door becomes available in a couple of months, yes we will be knocking through!!).
To reiterate, we have black steer, burgundy steer, black goat and brown goat.

Giles and I discussed a bit more spread and peak to the collar as well. I wonder if zippers could settle the lined pockets? We will just have to see the sample worn

I spent some time on the phone with Will@Alexander this morning….
- The McLain is being shipped to me today, I will have it Monday. He kept on telling me how feckin brilliant it is (I really do think he likes it....)
- We have decided that rather then having it unlined, we will line the sample black J100 with some lovely red plain Lochcarron wool (and twill in the arms)
- I have ordered some scarlet Ventile to line the red J100 we are making for @guillaume
-
Good decision on 2)

Brilliant. Absolutely beside myself.

That looks amazing. Think that might be this years winter coat….and winter coat for many years to come after that too!!

If anybody would like a McLain. Please drop me a PM.
USD1,150 which includes shipping.
I'm not putting it up as a product yet, because I am tweaking some details, but that is not stopping me take orders and make them.
I am swapping out the Riri one way zipper for an Iron Heart 2-way - that makes it possible to sit down with the jacket done up and I find it easier to engage the zipper which is handy when you are wearing gloves or your fingers are blocks of ice.
We have also worked out a way of including the sheepskin lining to the pocket but reducing the bulk of the bottom seam.

Wow, that's a helluva jacket for that price.
