Thanks for the kind words man, I know it's been a hard and long way to the end.. but thankfully that you're satisfied with what the tailor produce in the end. And I must say it's a great looking Indi.Jacket received!
It appears my jacket doesn't suffer from the collar to zipper issue, but I can see where it was glued so I was just extra careful when unzipping the jacket. I will say that, yes it doesn't look as weathered as Batch 1 or 2 so unfortunately I'll have to do some work myself. Overall though this is by far the best jacket I have had in hand to date. And honestly, after some more weathering I don't think I'll ever need another again. Which was what I wanted. One and done on the jacket. I love the feel of the leather and how easy it is to futz! Took a bit to stretch out the sleeves though as they were really bunched up and was showing too much of his wrists without doing that.
Any suggestions on what to use to further weather the jacket?
Been a pretty rocky run with all the ups and downs but looks like it was worth a few gray hairs. Thank you @jagzz And Hwe Hwa for delivering what will probably be the best Indy Jacket I'll own.
Here are some pics! And showcase video uploading on YouTube now.

For weathering I already asked the tailor, he said he used a combination of premium leather spray paint (coffee brown color), and a pastel powder (grind it down). For pastel powder he use combination of brown, orange, yellow ochre, burnt sienna and jaune brilliant (for lighter color) - he use this for the leather joints, etc.
This is picture of the spray leather paint he use:

Pastel powder is very easy to removed, you can remove it by using water, but for the premium leather paint it will be permanent (again please remember the risk of damaging the jacket).
Hope this helps.
Thanks man for the confirmation, yeah it's very subtle.It's nice to finally have a real leather 1/6 jacket for my Indy. Only disappointed that my jacket lacks any weathering compared to other pics in the thread.
Thanks to jagzz for organizing the run.
Loving the whole proportion here!!View attachment 442950
Another one. On the fence about sending it back. I really like it. If I can get the zipper back on the track, Iāll be happy
