    I'm pretty fond of it the way it is.
    I really like that it has lapels and the pockets seem to be very practical as well as looking good.
    About the only things I personally would change would be to have it shaped by darts rather than the strap in the back and to have a leather patch on each shoulder.

    Other than that I think you have really out-done yourself with this design.

    Kevin,
    Outstanding jacket! I like the lapels and the leather accents--dresses it up a bit so that it could cover a wide range of activities from hunting to hiking to dinner at a nice restaurant. It is great! Epaulettes would be a welcome addition.

    I expect the sale price for such a jacket to be in the $300-500 range, especially if made to order. To be completely honest, I have other items on my "kilted wish list" other than this jacket. Don't misunderstand, it is magnificent! But I personally don't see myself wearing it as much as a new tank or fur sporran. I wish you luck with your endeavor but I don't plan on ordering such a jacket anytime soon.
