...not sure how to put this. I just received a new copper novapelle today, just now, actually, and it doesn't have a storm flap. What I mean is the storm flap is not defined by the stitching. Leather covers the zipper, but there is no stitching to define the flap. This is a new one for me??? Anyone else have this happen?
I don't understand how they sewed the zipper in without the stitches forming the storm flap, it should be sewn through.
Does the jacket have inside facings? Is the zipper just sewn to the lining?
Yes it is a custom jacket. The old copper n/p was on clearance, and i bought it, but the body was too short and the sleeves too long. I sent it back and ordered a custom in the new copper n/p, that looks alot like CS leather. Just received it today.
RC, the zipper is sewed into the inside edge of what should have been the storm flap. The zipper, edge of the lining and the inside of the storm flap look to be sewed together as one piece.
Chewie might be lucky enough to have a good local leather tailor, but I don't. Unless you have someone local you can trust, I seriously recommend you send it back to Wested. Maybe it's just that there are no great leather tailors in my city, but I had my sleeves taken in by someone locally and I ended up sending it back to Peter to have done properly. They didn't even use double-sided tape. i doubt they knew what that even is.

If it weren't for the whole SA issue, I would say it looks better. I kinda like the cleaner front. I'm not sure though. Can we see a pic of you wearing it?
Well that's a first. Never seen that before.
We are so busy checking measurements and details we miss what is staring us in the face a missing seam.
If you want to send it back I will turn it straight round and pay the postage.
Apologies
