Ryan was great to back to me so fast. He agreed the jacket gunks up his machines, and that my order got the last of the last of the vintage-repurposed tin cloth. Thanks for the head’s up. My jacket is still good. Stay cool everybody. It’s freakin hot! I hope you’re not working outside Edwin.

Thanks for the heads up! I have the Filson also, and was thinking the same, Filson for work, WHR for fun. It was either March or May the last time I heard from Ryan, he said it was already started.

No evo pics of the tin cloth jacket?

Very nice.

Which jacket is that?

Got any evo pics of the tin cloth jacket? I’m still waiting for mine, July 2, will be 19 months.

I will update with pics when my jacket arrives.

I read he only takes 4 rush orders a month.

As much as I hate the wait, I do love the product. My jeans pictured above, are the best pair that I own. I imagine I will feel the same way about the jacket. Had I known this was a side gig, I would have paid extra for the 4 week rush.

Thank you for sharing this. I don’t like finding out this information secondhand. On the website, there is an opportunity to share this, but it seems intentionally ignored. From the website faqs: Where the $#@% are my jeans?!! Heritage Collection hand made jeans are meticulously crafted by founder and sixth generation sewer Ryan Martin. Due to the tedious nature of the construction and utmost attention to detail, only one pair can be made per working day. Because several orders can come in a day, among other logistical factors, the lead time is fluid and changing almost by the hour. Posted lead times were not meant to be taken as Gospel, only a very rough gauge of the current work load. If waiting patiently ain't your thing, feel free to browse the Ready to Wear Collection for goods available to ship immediately or feel free to pay a few bucks more have have them made guaranteed in 4 weeks or less. This will be explained in more detail during the initial consultation

2-2.5 years is crazy. Weight can be gained/lost. All sorts of variables. Job/style can change, economies can fail, Denim lots can get ruined, Cone Mills can close factories, etc...

Thank you for sorting that out.

I think I remember reading at Denimbro that it may have been ancient deadstock denim. Not sure. Leroy thread over there.
