Their sizing charts are what worried me, a jacket I bought a while back from a different supplier uses the exact same measurements as suzahdi so when I bought a jacket from that supplier it came and the chest was way too small, overall the jacket was too tight, I ordered a small off them.
A few weeks ago I pulled the trigger on the Suzahdi and was terribly disappointed. The sizing is so bad. They even offered custom sizing which I included with my order. They said no problem and that it would take 7 working days. 2 weeks later I get an email that says the jacket is ready to be approved by me. They sent pictures and it looked great but I should have asked for pics with measurements because what I received was a stock size jacket w/o any custom sizing. I sent them a chat and they said they would make me a new jacket. Two weeks later, I haven't heard anything from them. It's too bad because it could be a great jacket but these people have no clue about sizing and patterns. I mean who needs 6 inches of fabric added to their chest size??? I'm not planning on wearing a parka underneath it ffs! They really need to do some research. Maybe take a look at two of the best selling trucker jackets on the market from Flint and Tinder and Filson and just copy their size charts. That would take all the guess work out of ordering from them. They may sell some more jackets and have happy customers. not to mention save a ton of money on material.
 
Fahdi actually ended up emailing me like 5 days ago saying he was going to ship the jacket and he was going to send me the tracking details. I still haven’t received a tracking number yet though. Did Fahdi end up sending you any photos or a video?
Have you received the tracking number yet? Fahdi told me that my jacket was ready and that I would receive an update from him after the quality check on the 17th. I have been waiting for a message from him for 3 days now, it is so annoying that a deadline is never kept.

I did actually end up receiving the jacket like 5 days ago, honestly the sizing on these things are so small I feel like, I returned my L jacket and got it exchanged for an XL and it still feels too small, what’s worse is it had the pointy shoulder issue with I thought they resolved ages ago. Very disappointed, was thinking about emailing Fahdi and asking to exchange jacket a second time but it’s just too much hassle and not to mention having to pay like £40 for postage.

Oh man so sad to hear this. I really hope that my jacket will be as I imagined it this time. My first Jacket was a Medium and it fits very well for me and i hope that the sizing will not be a another problem on my replacement Jacket. I also heared from other buyers that the pointy shoulders can be still a issue, because of this i added this to my requirements email and also told fahdi that the tailors should pay attention to this. I also think it's a shame that Suzahdi doesn't cover the return costs when it's clear that it was their mistake and they didn't do a good job on the Jacket.

also very sad to hear this. Like i have said in the past my jacket fits like a glove, but because it fits so well it does have the issue of a slight point in the shoulders. i do bodybuilding, so the jacket actually compliments my shoulders and shows how broad they are, but it doesn’t slope down like it is supposed to. i think i’m going to need to get it tailored to be honest. it’s driving me wild.

I really hope that my jacket will not have the pointy shoulder issue. I specifically told Fahdi that he should pay attention to this and tell the tailors to get this done right. I'm curious how long it will take until I get my jacket. The current status of my jacket is that the quality check is being done. It was actually supposed to be done on the 17th and yesterday I got a message from Fahdi saying that it hadn't been done yet and that he wants to do it today and that he will let me know as soon as possible once the quality check has been done but a deadline from him was never kept until yet.

yeah man, if you ordered a size above you should be okay. i ordered it true to size. it is very complimenting on my frame but it’s not perfect

The first Jacket was a littlebit oversized but i liked it and it fits very well for me so i hope the replacement Jacket will have the same fit.

It probably won’t have the issue if you specifically told Fahdi to make sure it doesn’t but you shouldn’t have to even do that in the first place, all the jackets should have round shoulders since that’s what it’s like on the Ugg, both of the jackets I’ve received both L and then the XL replacement have had pointy shoulders even though I’m pretty sure they said themselves in this thread that the pointy shoulders issue was fixed.

Yes, you are right. The problem was supposedly solved years ago and every Jacket should have round Shoulders without extra telling it to fahdi. I hope they do everything right this time but im not sure of that. I sended him a email with detailed photos and Descriptions of the requirements for my Jacket and they still manage to do something wrong.

Hello, so I recently got my side panels redone, and my fur collar with a new sheepskin Shirling I found online. The side panels were done with a dark chocolate ribbing material. The sheep shield that I got was genuine, sheepskin, smoky beige.

Let me know what you think, the color is a little light. I’m going to it down and dirty it up so it kind of matches the rest of the the aesthetic of the jacket.

i think the lycra matches it too well actually. If that was what you’re going for then you did a good job. the genuine jackets lycra is complementary to the jacket, but it’s not the same shade. It’s actually the identical shade of the stitching.

wait are you serious? both of your different sizes had pointy shoulders? maybe the sizing on mine isn’t the issue then. that’s actually insane

Yeah, I see what you mean. But to be honest, I was more going for the shade that’s on jacket number three. I remember watching the video on YouTube with the owner of the actual jacket three that Andrew Lincoln used on the show. And whenever he was reviewing the jacket, the side panels were almost identical to the suede. Now this is most likely due to weathering and wearing of the jacket, but I really liked that version of the jacket and thought I would implement it onto my own.

In regards to comparison, would you say that the panels lineup pretty well?
 
I recently bought a jacket from Etsy that’s not really related to the Rick Grimes jacket, but the color is what I had in mind. It looks a little like the Rick Grimes jacket, but the cuffs are different. I thought it would look like the jacket in this picture (I’ll leave the two pictures in the description), but the outcome was a bit different. For one, the fur on my jacket is way too white, and it doesn’t have that darker tone like the one in the picture from the website. What kind of suede brown dye should I get to bring it closer to that look? Also, how can I dye the fur to get it a little darker, like in the first picture? Is there a video on YouTube that shows you how to dye both the suede and fur?

I got an update from Fahdi today. He sended me this photos. Both are prototype jackets but i will not take any of these because they are too different to my requirements. The shearling looks not good imo, the lycra needs to be longer on the sleeves and the collar on the back is too thick like the one from TheTennant. So i ask fahdi if he still have the one he sended me last year in october and he said he still have it so i will take this one.

the texture of the shearling isn’t the worst but the color is way off
