FAO Patterson - regarding the new jacket and your PB hat.

Posted by Satipo from spider-tr074.proxy.aol.com on August 31, 2000 at 03:57:06:

May I just congratulate your considerable efforts and say that the jacket looks to be a fantastic replica. However, I would be extremely interested to see how it looks when it is being worn by someone, i.e. does it hold its 'square' shape well?

As ever, I just have a few questions I would be grateful if you could answer:-

1)Aren't the side straps a little too short?

2)Are the rectangular rings really as thin as that on the original jacket, as they look a little too delicate to me?

3)The zip looks like it is brass coloured - shouldn't it be nickel?

4)The leather looks to be too light a chocolately brown - shouldn't it be dark brown, almost black?

5)And finally, regarding the picture of your hat on the PB website - shouldn't the ribbon be wider and the sides of the brim turned up a little. Also, does the brim have a dimensional cut to it?

Many thanks again for your efforts and time,

Satipo

P.S. Although perhaps a bit immoral, if you were to send this prototype jacket to Wested, surely they would then make their jackets in exactly the same way. Then we would have the perfect article in terms of it being accurate and from the original manufacturer!
