Hi!!
We've done it! after more than 15 years of trying, we have achieved an original Charles Chevignon, we have adapted it to Mac´s jacket and we have managed to reproduce the RDA Chevignon at 99%.
It has been an hard job to get the exact lambskin, the elastics knit cuffs and waist, and the jacket lining as close as possible. Even reproduced the original label!!
The most complicated thing has been to find the original Chevignon G2 jacket to get the exact pattern. The leather has been somewhat easier, and the lining is already impossible to find the exact tartan of the 80s.
We can say that the jacket has returned to life as faithful as possible to the original. More we can not do it.
I hope you like it and enjoy it.

We are trying to convince the company that has manufactured it to put it in its catalog for online sales. But if they do, they don´t have identical details such as exact material: labels, knit cuffs and waist, woolen tartan linning ...

We have provided all this material. I don´t know if the project brings them profitability or not.
I wait for news from the company to see if they decide, I imagine that they don´t want avalanche of orders if they have not developed the project to be able to do it with a low cost for them (only custom orders have been). I don´t know if they will scold me ... I don´t think they want people to call them if they have not decided yet. I hope you understand
I imagine that if they develop a more economical production with similar materials, they can carry out the project.

For you to get an idea: the pure wool tartan lining of body can cost for one jacket $80. That same lining in cotton or polyester is cheaper. But the original is made of 100% wool on body and nylon on sleeves.
For now I think the project should wait.



Regards

Well if they decide to produce them it will be interesting. That jacket looks great.
