    Oh Steve, you shouldn't have ratted out the guy about the size increase on this video! You know he was going to wear the jacket to his reunion telling everybody "Yeah, my wife got it repaired, and it still fits too!!! I haven't gained a pound!". 😂

    You did an awesome job! Rusty is my cousin and his wife Dee presented it to him for his birthday/“retirement” party 02/24/2024. He was really surprised and super excited. You absolutely amazed EVERYONE there with the time, patience, and apparent your love for what you do. Keep up the good work and may you continue to be able to do what you do.

    It´s such a pleasure to watch you work! I´m full of admiration for you showing the "hiccups" too. You really worked magic on this jacket!
    It´s a bit sad it still is a little small on the owner, but this wasn´t your fault at all. You did the size 46 that was asked for while I assume the owner meanwhile needs a couple of sizes more.

This jacket was toast until you got ahold of it...! Unbelievable... I'll say it again, "You are the Master"...Greg

  • @johnyingling5379
    @johnyingling5379 4 месяца назад +1

    Steve you do excellent work, and you came up with some clever solutions to some troubling problems such as covering the snaps with the yellow skived leather and reversing the fabric to get an unfaded color.
    Unfortunately the jacket did not fit, the dude was not a 46, probably 2 more sizes bigger. I’m not sure if you could have increased everything to that size. One minor comment is that I would have sewn in a color matched fabric facing on the pocket bag, so you don’t see the white contrasting with the shell or the welts. I think for a project like this, you really need a set of measurements or a similar jacket that you can use to check for specifications and fit. Overall, still some awesome work!
