Same as last year's jacket? I think these will appeal to the TFL crowd.

The last photo is really cool--Also shows how it can be rocked with a hat. This'll be smashing I reckon.

The 'Missus ordered me one, I cannot wait!

Fantastic!!!!!!!! Bestseller!!!!!

Is this the final sample? Looks like you kept the low belt placement instead of going back to the more harmonious look of the first run? Also, in the store pics the collar looks much smaller. Did you keep the short collar of the samples as well?

Sometimes I wonder why we bother to give feedback on samples if you just ignore it.

Same collar.

Rudie, with regard to the collar, are you referring to the length of the collar, or the rear of the collar (as on the photo below)?

With regard to the belt placement, it may have varied according to the sizes (I can only comment on the size 44 which I tried on) but I thought the belt was too high. But, as we know, the factory had issues with grading larger size garments, so that may just have been an issue on the larger sizes.

As far as I remember the front of the jacket was lenghtened because of your suggestion or someone else(Memory might be failing me here) which I think was a tad too much because it made the front too long in my experience with the jacket.

I have different half belts(Wool and leather) and belted backs (Suit jackets, corduroy, cotton, linen) and all of them are located around my belly button in the back which is how the SJC fits me. The height is just right for my size 38, on the higher side but nothing out of place in the 22 inches back.

One thing that worries me is the difference in measurements between inches and cm:





Last year's jacket in a size 38 has a front lenght of 25,25 inches(64cm) with a lenght of  22,4 inches (57cm)in the back from the collar seam and the belt starts at around 14 inches (35cm) down the back  and has a space of 17cm from the end of the belt to the bottom. 

This year's back in the same size is 25 inches back which doesn't match the cm size chart at all. There has to be something wrong somewhere and it's probably the inches size chart. 

Simon you better check that carefully because it's leaving the door open for returns. 

This year's jacket seems to have the belt placement too low while last year's was on the high side.

Fixed now. The Metric chart was off: -

This is another one that, when you do Rhythm Riot next year, you should have some of in stock. I'd be willing to bet you'll sell at least one, and others later to people who had a chance to handle it.

[Spritle]

I gotta say that the new style of photography is looking great!

Woah! I have to say I'm surprised by those measurements. Seem extra long for such a style to me, specially compared to last year measurements. I suppose those are collar seam to bottom and don't include the collar.

The whole thing to me looked like the back lenght had been shortened and that's why the belt was visually lower when is in fact longer than previous year by 2.5 inches.

Are you sure the charts are correct now? Judging by the model shots, the back would be more like 21-22" on a small size. Please make sure the charts are correct for back length measured from the collar seam (thus not including the collar) to back hem.

I am in the same boat. Judging by the pictures and the first model being 5'10" (Info from the knitwear thread) they certainly looked shorter. References of last year style:
