      learned this by doing. 😉
      only one ordinary old machine, it is from fifties, got it for a little money from an old lady:

      than sewing parts of the back part together and attaching it to the front parts.
      it looks nearly finished but the sleeves missing. would also be cool as a vest.. :).
      looking this way:


      makin a leather patch, cut the one piece collar and push it on.
      it looks nearly finished but the sleeves missing. would also be cool as a vest.. :).

      I usually working in the late evening hours, so there is a lack of photos doing the sleeves and attaching them to the body.
      than have to sew all that shit together.
      very last step is to cut selvage waistband and cuffs.

      to finish the jacket it needs only a few buttonholes and buttons….

                      I think it´s time to leave a comment.
                      It takes a long time from the idea to the final result and I´m very happy with that.
                      I can´t await to get this beauty in my hands and I really pray to god that it will fit me.
                      It was nice to see, how the jacked grows and i´ll miss to discuss with Jan about the details, pocket design, thread colour, buttons and so on.
                      I really have to thank Jan for putting so much love in this project. He is such a nice guy and it was always fun to talk and write with him. Maybe money can´t pay the time and passion he puts in.
                      😘

                          Yeah dude. It's super clean and the extra details like the rivets at the cuff really set it off.

                            there is no need, because it fits me, so it will fit you, that's for sure!
                            in this case a good bad thing. 😉

                                I have to say Mr. Schmidt is a wonderful guy.  The shirt he made me is so damn beautiful.  I gave it another wash today 3rd to be exact.  Honestly one of my favorite denim shirts I own.  Now onto that Schmidt jacket….I want one badly...the pockets remind me of the jackknife denim jacket by Ande Whall which is one of my favorites.  I hope Jan is willing to make some more?

                                  First off, super big thank you to Jii

                                  I asked him to make me a natural leather NATO style watch band. This was his first time trying this style. He, obviously, hit it out of the park.
                                  I was bummed at first because the strap was slightly too thick but I shaved it down a bit and fits great now. I guess the band opening on my Maratac watch is a bit slim.

                                  Thanks again Jii!
