Potentially cool, reversible suede trucker at Velour for $150-ish. Size XS. If I remember correctly, they don't offer returns, so this would be final sale. Sorta kinda has that 70s vibe of the Margiela.

Some quick fit pics. Wasn’t sure how to take ideal fit pics. Any recommendations?

Any feedback on the jacket? I will say that it does feel boxy when zipped up, but I think that’s due to the leather still being stiff. Once broken in, I don’t think it’ll be as boxy. Zipped up is just for reference. I don’t think I’ll really be wearing it zipped up that much.

So for the record, the FCL came back today and their work is impeccible. I believe they replaced the entire panel that goes under the armpit and up the back of the sleeve. And it looks like they must have used the original stitching holes because there's no evidence of any new punctures. It's as good as new.

Do you want to lay in your bed with your jacket again and see if the seems hold up?

Valstar shearling work jacket for this FW feels underrated next to the Clint and updated aviator.
