Of course I remember, I was a bit tempted by this new one but it would have been really expensive to get.
The HB non leather is for sale in Japan, one of the usual sellers. It's very expensive for a non-leather, maybe it could be found cheaper out ebay ...
Steerhide Oakbrook, not bad :

I could have taken the risk, but both shoulders have had issues. The seller totally understands my decision. That's life !
I discovered the brand Edgo on ebay, a HH jacket :

The All Weather jacket will soon be for sale again, I will cancel this buy before it's shipped.
One shoulder was already looking unstitched on the auction page, and with additional pictures
it appears that the other shoulder stitching was redone by hand, a different way.
This was not...
Wide collar, to be determined...

If I receive something that is half as good as this one, I'll be happy :)
Like many people, I happened to do mistakes and buy the wrong size with jackets, but I try to be careful with pictures and measurements and usually that works. Quality generally shows on pics, I have not been disappointed...
I did buy an amazing Windward HB from them, last year. It was a great buy, the lining had been replaced from shearling to nylon, that's nice because this way I could wear it, and all the seams were perfect. A beautiful Horsehide. They have a lot of vintage US jackets. Maybe sometimes they are...
It's always a challenge to get a lower price. I have seen many great looking things recently here.
When a jacket is the right size, sometimes it's necessary to stop thinking too much...
These classic straight zip are nice. Something a bit different and cheaper by Skäggerac is for sale in...
You had a similar jacket (with laces too, I just checked), and yours has much interesting grain.
The one for sale is in my size, but 690 Euros is too much in my opinion, I was going to ask how much you would pay for it, if it did fit you ?
I am still waiting for an offer from the seller, I...
Eastman A2 are well made jackets, generally historically correct, and nice today with their recent warhorse leather. But they cost at least 1000£ for the cheapest ones, and more than 1200 or 1300£ depending on customisation. Your jacket is not an original contract, but their "Home" A2 jacket...
I have seen the jacket on ebay, and sent some offers. The seller wants too much for it.
Terry had a similar one, All weather, with no laces at the waist. If the seller changes their mind, who knows...
I got the measurements for the Medium straight zip :
Sleeve length from shoulder to cuff ;23-3/4"
Back height from collar seam to bottom ;24"
Shoulders width at back;18-1/4"
Chest : armpit to armpit, slightly stretched, jacket closed.21"
Some more jackets , both interesting but I get no answer from the sellers. Maybe someone will get lucky :
