I'll try for a fit pic tomorrow, and maybe some detail pics.

After years of wanting a heavy leather 3/4 length coat, I finally found one - a Schott 523 (I think that's the model) that I got on Etsy for a screamin' good deal. I know that in a world of Aero, LW, etc. that this is a fairly unremarkable coat, but I'm pretty thrilled! Aero is a bit beyond my...
