My buddy has been making hand made jackets and i just wanted to see what people thought about them. It has literally been the best jacket I have ever owned and is the best fitting most comfortable jacket ever. I would love to help him out and get him some support and people to check him out. The best part is he only makes 3 layer gortex jackets that are waterproof as all hell haha. Here are some pics of mine and tell me what you think!

I own one of Nick's jackets, and they are great. As far as quality goes, they are handmade, so everything is not perfect, but I am happy with the results. Waterproofing is great, I skied in pissing rain all day, and was no wet at all. I may put up a video of the waterproofing.

Well theres lots of different fabric options it just depends on how much you want to pay. You really have to pick out your fabric thats just part of a hand made jacket. Mine is beyond waterproof and i love it. I walk to class everyday in it and when its pissing rain i stay dry and it gets dry super fast in class. At the mountain its better than any jacket i've ever had. So I dont know who you talked to but I love mine and it gets worn everywhere and has been doing amazing. And sorry for the repost the last one was suppose to delete so I could try to get the pictures to work but NS is being weird.

I personally own one of these jackets and I am extremelypleased with the quality. I was able custom design my coat and basicallypick out everything I wanted. He has a large variety of options you can choosefrom depending on how much your looking to spend. All of his fabric is 3 layerweather you choose the cheaper option or the more expensive option.

I was also really pleased with how the jacket fits as well as the functionalityof the jacket. I am a pretty big guy at 6ft 3in and its hard to find goodfitting coats that are taller but not super wide mid section. I am pleased thatwith this jacket my hood is big enough to fit over my helmet, my arm cuffs arewide enough to easily slide over my gloves and the collar is tall enough inreally extreme (windy) conditions. I also have plenty of room to layer up. Oneof the coolest parts about my jacket is that he promises to never make the samecoat twice! So you wont have the problem of running into someone with the samejacket.
