Jimi Hendrix Hussars Jacket

We have been working over the past 18mths to perfect the Jimi Hendrix army jacket and still the work goes on.
The 3nd creation was in Dec/Jan 2010.

Mainly the changes from phase 2 are with the arm detail, again this was using the same cloth and simulated fur fabrics in the main construction.
We still felt the chest braid was too heavy but the arm design is more detailed which is much closer to the original Hendrix jacket.

Pricing is also a concern as with the additional detail the production cost of the hand sewn arm design increases. We felt this would be our Stage performance range, any additional improvements would be to achieve a parade quality Tunic with a price tag to match.
Aimed at those private clients whom did not want a tailored piece, but wanted a jacket as close to the original as possible.

Phase 4 would meet that requirement and be ready for Winter 2010.
