ExpatJB

Im trying to create the freakiest face possible.

I think I'm onto something, and should be in Dr Who.

Stop spamming and get back to the jacket, very cool pat, wouldn't look right on me though :v

I couldn't pull that off. It's sad, because it looks great. How does the leather feel?

The Bond Experience

Is it lamb? Calf skin?

urhash

Mantis, don't you have one too in your collection?

I believe the default Magnoli offers is lambskin.

Lambskin, un distressed, in dark brown obviously.

Fine, soft leather, very tidily stitched, and finished. And as always getting something made to your measurements ends up feeling pretty good when you throw it on. -{

Needs to get some creases in it, and some patina, and it will be great. A few runway chases should sort it, but more likely to be a few years wear.

I did HAVE one in my collection...been replaced since.

Bit cryptic that, Dave.:s

You weren't able to replace it with an Armani original, were you???? X-(

The Bond Experience

Heaven forbid! I would have had to give away a kidney for that and I need that for my morning drink! :007)

I may even know where that one went. Possibly to Afghanistan via Canada?

Yes. 8-)

I can only aspire to be stolen and appear in an online auction. )

6 years later update at request of a couple of posters due to original photos disappearing. )

Ive had one around 4 years. Ordered distresssed lambskin.
Worn in well now. Quality is excellent. Proving v durable.
The key when ordering is being exact with your requirements to Indy... Particularly be brave with the length. Should sit on your belt line pretty much.
I used a M Menlo as a guide and Im a 41 / chest... Worked perfectly

Commandant

Good to know that you are happy with it.
Length is indeed a big question mark.
The original Armani jacket is a bit too short IMO.

Great comments. Exactly right. If I were to do anything differently it would be to shorten the length a little.

Still working on it in the back ground but numerous prototypes but nothing I would be happy to release, hopefully the start of next year I should have something to show!!!
