: : Well, I had hoped no further alterations would be needed to the prototype, but…
: : These changes are minor, and I’ve discussed with Dave Marshall. “No sweat, we can make these tweaks right now, just shoot me an email with the measurements.”
: : Adjustments:
: : 1. Cargo pocket:
: : a. Cargo pockets (without flap included) were cut to 7” (width) X by 6 ½” (height), but need to be 7” X 7”.
: : b. Cargo pocket flap needs to be moved up ½ inch.
: : c. Finished cargo pocket (including flap) needs to be 7” (width) X 8” (height)
: : 2. Side Strap needs to be lowered ½ inch.
: : 3. Need to bring collar to more of a point (a bit too rounded).
: : These were items we discussed at our last meeting, but they may have just slipped by. Dave said, “No problem, just shoot me the changes via email.”
: : As far as I’m concerned, they are good to go. Man, the back of the jacket is perfect. He said upon receipt of my email, they’d be rolling the production line.
: : Cheers!

...that the flap staying closed and laying flat is a function of the depth of the pleat and wearing the correct size. Peter's jackets are really cut a bit tight, at least for me. I think the Expedition will do fine.
Cheers!
