What a lovely jacket! Fantastic likeness to the original. Magnoli certainly delivers the goods and the distressing is great!
One of the finest lamb jackets I've seen. Thanks for posting these new pics as the original thread photos made the jacket look almost black in some shots.
His jackets are just magnificent. Price (with shipping included) is listed on his website, along with the most common (but certainly not all possible) variations.
Very nicely made. However, what's with the 0.25 inch stitching going all around the pocket flaps, pockets and collar? Only the top edge of the pocket flap should have that much distance between the edge of the leather and the stitching line. Everywhere else should have the stitching very close to the edge.
They've gotten the arm to yoke seam ratio right, though it's odd that the back panel doesn't extend all the way to the arm seam. Ah well, who'd know but a bunch of stitch nazis like us anyway? ;-)

Not any darker than the Wested Authentic, really. They do seem to photograph darker, though. I'm thinking the predistressing changes the finish enough to get a better picture. He also has lighter (and even darker) browns.

I agree, Chris. But it is a lovely looking jacket all the same. Good pocket size and shape.
It could well be coincidence, Chewie.
Just sayin' until just now every photo i've seen of a Magnoli, including outdoor shots, showed a jacket i'd swear was closer to black than brown.
That is a great looking jacket man!!! I was wondering, when you order a jacket from Magnoli, what are all the optioins? I know there are a few listed on the site but others have mentioned more options. Like, what kind of distressing is available?
Thanks

I like it. It looks rugged. The buckles may be large, but they do not look fragile, that is for sure. It has it's own unique look - I love the overall shape.

If you look at Magnoli's Vintage Adventurer you will find the finer stitching. he can do the stitching.

E-mail him, because he's the best one to ask. In my experience, though, he's willing to do just about anything in the way of options. He just started doing distressing, mainly by hand I believe. I've seen two examples posted around, one very lightly, the other more heavily.
Mine is lightly distressed, there is a TOD jacket that looks like it was mauled by a bear ;-)
He will do anything you want at a cost. I didn't really know what the jacket specs entailed to change things, at least from mine things such as the full back panel can be requested. If you are serious for one shoot Magnoli off an email, he is awesome to deal with and will always be more than happy to help!
Thanks for the info. I have heard others mention that magnoli jacket that is heavily distressed. I've done a couple searches but can't find pix of it, can anyone point me in the right direction please...
