The UPS man brought me a present today! My magnoli custom Raiders/LC hybrid jacket!

Specs were based on a wested 44L with some minor adjustments since that jacket is a little large. It definitely fits more like a Raiders than an LC, but its GORGEOUS!

More pictures

Specs:
Model C
Dark Brown
New finish
Measurements from the 44L slightly adjusted.
Two-piece gussets
Second inside pocket (I'm a lefty) and I got a bonus smaller pocket on the right side as well! Good for cell phone!
All cotton body
X-box stitching and slider buckles as in Model A
Thin goatskin for a 3-season jacket and boy did they deliver on this! It's not much heavier than my Wested sheepskin.

More pics when I have time this weekend (and likely in the full gear).

Excelsior!

Nice! Looks like that skin should get nice and wrinkly (the jacket- not you!)

Methinks you're going to miss a little sleeve length in a few months....

Yeah, I'm thinking that the sleeves are a little short. I'm going to double check that they're the length I specified. If they are, then I have only myself to blame.

..and only getting shorter by the minute, I'm afraid... Soon, they'll be up to your elbows!

If they're not the length you requested, I'm sure Magnoli will sort it out asap...?

Yeah, based on the comments here and the fit, I went back and measured the jacket. Looks like I'm consistently missing 1/2" to 1" on pretty much all the measurements. That led to at least 1" on the sleeves. I've talked to Indy Magnoli and I need to send the jacket back for alterations, but this seems like it'll be a brand new jacket since it needs so many changes. It stinks because its beautiful, but it's not what I ordered.

It almost seems like I got sent the wrong jacket? I know at least one other member ordered right before me. I don't know if he received his jacket yet.
