Your details are gorgeous; this is going to be a stunner just like your former leather jacket.

This is going to be great. And I don't think it will ever go out of style. Good luck!

This is a classic. Its going to be gorgeous.

Your jacket is looking great. I am making a leather jacket too and I needed a gin and tonic after I made the bound buttonholes! By the way, I found that low tack painting tape is great for holding things in place.

Wow..this will be gorgeous! I think I need a whole bottle of wine before I plan on any pattern for leather, but Marfy would be my first choice.

NancyK, Low tack painter tape is a great idea. I tried scotch tape and it took the finish off. I am still not making all those buttonholes unless absolutely NOTHING else works. ETA: I didn't say that alcohol wasn't involved!

Wow, impressive.

You, my dear, have grossly understated your sewing level! Leather AND Marfy - very impressive! It's going to be fabulous.

You are very brave, making a MARFY LEATHER JACKET with no muslin! But sometimes, you have to just take the plunge. It looks great so far.

Oh, WOW! What fantastic details you're incorporating into this jacket. And don't worry, no matter how long it takes you, it'll never go out of style. :o)
2/12/08 12:26 PM
Wow! You are brave and it looks great so far. Just an option - you could do a zipper instead of buttons on the front. I don't know if it would be any easier or not, and it would change the look. I guess that would make it more of a biker jacket than a trench. Never mind.

I love the flaps -- much more than patch pockets. (NATURALLY, since they're harder.) :o) Everything looks so professional!
2/26/08 11:27 PM
Mmm...mmm...mmm. Your meticulous and challenging work is slowly progressing into a killer of a leather (Marfy -wow!) jacket! Love the cognac color, too, so timeless. -Lily

Wow! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences. Your jacket is going to be amazing when complete!
2/27/08 12:20 PM
Beautiful job. I just finished a leather jacket and my workroom is full of binder clips, paper clips and bobby pins (whatever works for whichever seam)! I'm looking forward to the final jacket.
2/27/08 8:26 PM
This is going to be exciting! Just can't wait for the photos of your finished jacket!

You're coming along beautifully. Your thumbnail doesn't enlarge but I can tell that your lapel lays perfectly. And I'm sure your topstitching is excellent, too. -Lily

Truly designer quality. It will never go out of style and will always look sophisticated!

What a great leather jacket!

I have never laughed so hard reading a review here! Thank you for the entertaining and enlightening review. The jacket is gorgeous!

A fantastic jacket. Really enjoyed your review.
4/17/08 2:20 AM
Fabulous leather jacket, Re Becca, as I knew it would be! Your review made me laugh throughout and I'm sure your cats will miss the binder clips. What amazing beautiful work you've done here. Lovely, Lily
4/17/08 2:34 AM
wonderful jacket. I am sure you will be wearing it for years to come. Congratulations on finishing it.
4/17/08 3:46 AM
Wow!! It turned out really, really great!! Congratulations on "finishing". I'm glad you got to wear it once before the heat and humidity descend on us.
4/17/08 5:35 AM
Holy smokes, this is SO professional looking. I have a few deerskin pelts in my stash that my dad gave to me, but I've never had the nerve to do anything with them. Your efforts are certainly inspiring.
4/17/08 7:11 AM
You can go back to feeling invincible again. WOW! this is just fabulous - looks so professional - your fit is great, your workmanship is great. I hope you enjoy this and get some semblance of winter to wear it for years to come. Bravo!
4/17/08 7:36 AM
What a fantastic looking jacket! I have some leather destined to become a jacket this fall so your review will really be helpful to me when I get to that project.
4/17/08 7:38 AM
Wow! I love this jacket and am so impressed with your construction skills! Thank you for giving a beginning sewer something to aspire to!
4/17/08 8:30 AM
Beautiful jacket - congratulations on getting it to the finish line!
4/17/08 9:07 AM
Can I add some more wows to the ones you've already gotten? Wow, wow, wow...
4/17/08 9:33 AM
gorgeous. beautiful. awe-inspiring. Thank you for sharing this jacket with us! I am amazed. I have looked at your pictures 3 times over already just reading the review. I love the leather you chose and the snaps - it looks so modern and sleek.
4/17/08 9:36 AM
You deserve giant applause. Your coat looks great, it fits great, and the tailoring is superb. Congratulations
4/17/08 9:58 AM
Your jacket is incredible, even without the "montgomery"! Obviously, it wasn't needed for this to be a success! I'll echo what everyone else said here. The fit is great, the style is cool and the details are superb. Great job--and congratulations for having the courage to sew leather. BTW, my favorite picture is the back flap, which shows one of your gorgeous cats hunting binder clips!

What a challenging, but interesting project this was. Congratulations on your resounding success.
4/17/08 4:54 PM
Very nice!!
4/17/08 5:08 PM
Oh boy have you ever done an expert job here - this looks like really expensive RTW
