Is she going to include the stitch along the collar that ends at the split to the lapel? I can't tell definitively if it's already there on the latest samples, but it looks like it's not. IMO, that's a sort of unique feature of this particular jacket's collar.

I think I actually see this in the right column, second pic down.

Looks really good to me

I don't see the stitch I was talking about in any of the sample pics, even after blowing them up. Just to make sure you guys know for sure what I was talking about:

I can see it pretty clearly in two of those pictures - the loose clothing picture and the one angled towards the clothes left side (the second and third pictures if you are rotating clockwise).

I see what you're looking at. That line in the sample is incorrect. It follows on from the lapel, totally unlike the stitching on the real suit. Croozer, can you see if she can fix that? IMO, it's a pretty significant error in that it gives the suit a more generic appearance. And if we wanted a generic suit, eBay is crawling with them

Good eye. I'll see if she can get that fixed.
I'm actually having the proto shipped to me so I can take a closer look and see what other improvements can be made.

Ah I see, it is supposed to swing up more. Good catch.

Sneak peek.
I'll post a lot more pics tomorrow.

Looking great Croozer. I can't quite see the stitching Pixel pointed out, but I assume it's there. The only other thing is the sleeve length. Some men showed cuff, other not (Eurpoeans didn't I guess). But in all the images above I don't see Don showing any cuff and, as I recall, none of the other men in the episode did either (Pete is next to him in the one where he is walking and he isn't either). It's a shame because the cuffs will be nice especially if I can make some cufflinks. I'll leave it up to everyone else's opinion though, if they're good with this, then I am.

Other than that, it looks FANTASTIC.

I'm kind of newish to buying customs this way though so I don't know how many times we can go back to the well and maybe it should have been on the list last time. I didn't notice it though.

Sneak peek.
I'll post a lot more pics tomorrow.

Oh, are cuff-links included? They were with the super nice Goldfinger grey suit so I kind of assumed they would be here too.

I'm sure it's a matter of futzing or using longer wrist pegs if you want to hide the sleeves a bit more...not a big deal at all

Exactly. The cuff is a futzing preference. When arm is extended it needs to be possible to show the cuff, otherwise the shirt arms are too short. You can see Draper's shirt cuffs in plenty of images where he's got his arms bent, even if not apparent with arms down straight by his side.

That looks fantastic. Loving the way the suit sits. Nice work

Re: [YUNSIL] PROTO PICS- MadMen Don Draper H&C Set - DEPOSITS DUE 03/20/16

No cuff, no cuff, no cuff...even with the arm slightly bent. It was a style choice in the 50s. As I said, I'm fine if everyone else is, i'm just not sure where the level of perfection begins and ends!:dunno

Crap, the missing image was the best one of all and I can't remember which one it was to fix the link now.

Anyway, loads of examples, especially in other episodes/seasons. When you dress the figure anyone who wants to show the cuffs will have to purposefully show them as slipping the jacket on will have a tendency to leave them hidden, IME - even when pre-fitting the shirt into the jacket before the figure.

Re: [YUNSIL] PROTO PICS- MadMen Don Draper H&C Set - DEPOSITS DUE 03/20/16

I don't believe this is the same suit below. And anyway in this and the other images he has the ams bent 90º or nearly so, which is when they would show! The spec has the arms down. Don't get crazy on me Pixel :wink1:, I said I'm fine if eveyone else is, but it is not technically correct.

Cuff, cuff, cuff...

I said "arms bent" in my post! Doh. And yeah the promo image clothing isn't the same.

Anyway, if the shirt is the correct length for the body, one will be able to show or hide the cuffs to their desire, replicating any scene. However, did you mean to imply that the jacket sleeves were too short? Because they do look like they might be, but only ever so slightly, with the hands possible hanging a bit too low on the sample figure.
