Those are actually really nice looking, and reasonably priced. How is sizing for you? True to Brannock size, or did you have to size down? I'm a Brannock 8D, but I have to go with 7.5D in nearly all boots to get a proper fit.
I'm sure you've seen this already, but this might work for you:

Large for 36 I think, but be sure of your measurements. You can give Schott's "Fit Guide" a try to get another data point...
Thanks! I kind of got it on impulse, but I've gotten more use out of the pop-out collar than I expected. Lack of hand warmer pockets has bugged me more than I thought it would, and I find the reproduction zipper to be kind of fiddley. Really nice jacket with a unique design though.
Buzz Rickson B2 in the snow. Been a pretty dry winter, so I suspect this is the most snow I'll see this year. Dog got cold feet and didn't want to be in the shot very long. lol
Could be wrong, but this looks more like an ebay seller making a noob mistake to me. Why have a low reserve auction, if the goal is to make profit off of margins? Why have two listings of the item on the same account? Most margin sellers on ebay also have Japan as their location, more feedback...
Strongly suspect both of those are the same jacket, and the seller accidentally double listed. Pictures are identical, and the size 34 listing has a description saying they had a size 36 jacket taken in by a leather tailor...

Seller is one of those Japanese drop-shippers, so I'm sure you can find the original listing on Buyee. Too lazy to...
Thanks Monitor! Lovely jacket, but its definitely kind of baggy and shapeless looking on me. I'd love to see it on somebody that can own the look more.
Also listed on ebay, if you care to buy it from there:

Jacket is in good, pre-owned condition. No unpleasant smoke smell, or odors. Fit likely true to tag size. I have a 34''...
Got this Schott 641HH on the 'bay recently. I thought it might be a little too large as a size 36 for me, but I figured I could pretty easily recoup the cost if I decide to sell it. What do you think of the fit? I feel it might be too baggy in the chest and upper arms.
Pretty sure you're right about it being Liberty. Love the jacket, so I'm not really bothered about it. Just trying to satisfy my curiosity. I could probably send the serial number in the inner pocket to Bill Kelso, and settle the question for good.
The ebay seller I bought it from advertised it...
Interesting. I agree the way my specimen is wearing looks like Liberty. I do notice that the color of the leather on my jacket has a lot of red character. Is that red color at all indicative of Victory horsehide, or does Liberty have that as well? Your Liberty example has more of a beige/brown...
Could you provide measurements? Asking for a friend that has a 39'' chest, and is 5'10'' and 180 lbs. Schott's fit guide recommends a Large for a "regular" fit, but I'm trying to get a sense if this might work out for him as a Medium.
The only real information impressions or information I've found about Victory and Liberty horsehide on the web has come from this forum - so that leads me to a question I've had for awhile: How do you tell the difference between Liberty and Victory horsehide? My secondhand Duke is presumably...
Follow up to this. I did end up getting the jacket, but I ended up returning it because it had some undisclosed damage/issues. I was nice about it, and ate return shipping though. Fit was extremely weird, it fit my shoulders and chest fine, but the end of the sleeves and collar were too small...
Buzz Rickson's B-2, size 34.
This model has 30oz wool lining, and the shell is "Seal Brown, Vegetable Tanning Bronco Hide Aniline Finished". Something about this jacket spoke to me when I saw it on ebay, so uh, now I have a new jacket! Fit feels really good, and I do like how warm it is.
