Just a thought, but another great option For customers to choose would be to have a mixed batch jacket (randomized seal and russet shearling panels on the same jacket). This is an option presently only available on Eastman’s Perry contract and, as usual, they make you pay through the nose for it.
I have no idea if this would be feasible or if it would be too complicated, but a mixed batch option (I can’t stress the word “option” enough - the market for a mixed batch B-3 is even more niche than the VLJ hobby) would be stellar.

That would be really cool! I have a feeling I’ll be ordering one of these when the project is finished.
Also, if it helps, Eastman’s write-up for their Perry B-3 contract also has some useful information about why the mixed batch jackets existed, and how they arrange the contrasting panels so that the effect is flattering and not off-putting.

Oh, one last detail to make the 5Star B-3 a first-class repro:
While not universal, a lot of the B-3 contracts had this chain hanger loop, as opposed to the leather one that is common in most leather jackets. You could go either way and be fine, but having the chain one would be a nice touch.

Thanks for asking, We are working rapidly to make this complete as soon as possible, but as this time we are more concerned to authenticity and accuracy of materials, and also C19 pandemic most of the business are closed worldwide which is still a major hurdle before final launch. Hopefully within few weeks.
Best Regards

Thanks for your interests, as we already have the D-1 Patterns so its not a problem to make a D-1 from this fleece.

How It will end up I already posted some image in Artificial Fleece before in this forum.

Here I was just hoping it would be available by the end of the year.
Guess I’d better be ready with the PayPal.A couple more questions that I don’t think have been asked: I noticed the shearling you sourced is seal-colored. Will russet shearling be an option as well? Also, do you have a sense of what the price will be yet?
