Like this?  That's getting close, but less of a chore coat look (I know I mentioned I had thought of it while wearing my chore coat). Adjust where the buttons are, (the top one shouldn't be there, it should be below the bottom button, just about equidistant from the other buttons. Chest pockets go, slash instead of patch pockets, I'd be interested to see what would be done with the traditional blazer flaps - could probably go away but would need some detail to balance it out. You know, this is almost what I'm thinking it would look like inside out.  |

You know, this is almost what I'm thinking it would look like inside out. I see your vision now... I like what you're stewing up. That Carhart is a nice base to start from. A nice blend between chore coat and blazer. Not quite either, while effectively being both |

omething like this? I made it out of 10oz. Candiani Mills Selvedge Denim. I never finished the buttons. These are very labor intensive since a lot of the finish work must be done by hand if it's to be done write. I'm digging that blazer prototype, roman. Tough to tell for sure without it being modeled, but that looks like a great lapel. Not super-skinny modern, not Super Fly 70s wide; just nice and classic. Looks like a good silhouette too, one that could work with patch pockets for a more casual/deconstructed look just as well as the straight jetted and flap pockets on your prototype piece there. I think something along those lines could be a real winner if you continue to have access to some of those nice deadstock wools and interesting canvas materials. Where I part ways with exophobe is that I'm generally a 2-button man for a blazer. The 3-button can be nice as well, but depending on the rest of the design it risks veering into "just a fancy chore coat" territory. I mean, that Carhartt jacket I linked is a nice-looking piece, but it risks overlapping too much with your chore coat and cannibalizing your own sales. This is a great 3-button look, though. Clearly still a blazer and not a coat.  You could do some signature touches with your leather if you wanted to keep the look a little more rugged and unrefined (moreso for a canvas or denim than wool, I suppose).  |

I like a little more lapel in general, and especially on a more rough 'n ready canvas or waxed cotton "chore blazer" or whatever. |

The top picture is ideal, but I'm imagining black x black, or Indigo with black overdye

Sweet baby Jesus, that's it. Absolutely. Perfect base model for Roman to play with. That is a gorgeous garment kinda agree. really like the blending of style here. |

Something like this lapel (which looks more like Roman's prototype) would be better.  I would definitely prefer a 2-button blazer if it's in wool or tweed or if it's primarily a fashion piece. But that's just me; I think I'm a little more preppy than most guys here. As I linked previously, a 3-button can also be dynamite in my book if it's part of a cool design. |

Ok, These all look so good & will satisfy us for sure. I think we should each find a few things we will all consider great. To think these were all put into play in about 2 weeks so I can imagine what the future & time will bring
The Type II
Heritage work vest
Trucker
Utility Jacket
Selvedge chino

A Denim Peacoat if done right will be a grail item but when done to big & frumpy can be a disaster . I think Roman is a guy that likes well fitting items by the way u see him dressed so we should be good |

Dirty_Denim, roman; any chances on getting some heavy flannel? 10-12oz range? That's what I'm looking for as it's perfect for Phoenix winters and I'd like to avoid dropping 325.00 on an IH flannel.

That and even some in the 6-10oz ranger. I'm just not finding anything/much. In a work shirt style with triple needle stitch/chain stitch, gussets etc |

Boy Matt, I hear you on that. It makes my wonder if flannel that heavy is hard to get hold of, as nobody seems to offer anything close except IH. |

I have received some Flannels but nothing that excites me. The Pendleton mill will sell to me but they will not honor wholesale pricing since I sell international. They what $35-$40.00 a yard. That's how they keep the competition others out of there game. If only they made the clothing here and not in another country.
So I'm looking at some other options. The challenge is American made wools.
