I was hoping the seller got the measurements all wrong and somehow this would fit me just fine. Wishful thinking lol:

Did not see that pic when I responded above. That leather looks very nice indeed! Nice buy if you can wear it.

Pig Skin?

Not pig skin. Might be calf skin suede or just steer. From the picture, it looks very nice and smooth.

Interesting jacket, but weird combination of measurements. Based on the picture they may have gotten the shoulder measurement wrong, but were sort of close with the Pit-Pit? I would estimate the p-p is more like 19 to 19.5 inches, and the shoulders are 17 inches. I'll have to think about this one, but it does seem like it might be my size.

If hair on hide is your thing:

Awesome jacket.

Here it is for much cheaper on a Japanese site: https://store.acorn-vtg.com/products/detail.php?product_id=20984

So this would've been a Grail find for me but I can't get it out of UK to where I am without paying a lot over the price & I'd have to bother a lot of people to get it through which leads me to believe the world is telling me it's meant for someone else. But if there ever was a find, this is it. Basically a red Cal & I hear Lancer Leathers is top of the line. It's absolutely perfect in every way, if you can wear red. And I don't see why couldn't you.

Hello

Gentlemen, my friend has a pigskin jacket (****). The jacket is about 40 years old and I have a question because I see that you write above that these jacket are rare and from time to time you can meet such jacket from communist times.

What do you think about pigskin jackets?

I cannot wear red (matches my eyes), however if you want it delivered to me in UK and then I will look at getting it to you, just let me know

Excellent price. Thanks. Great jacket.

I agree. That beige looks great. A nice diversion from black cross zips. If the leather is good, I'd say it is a must-have in a collection.

Speaking of red...

IKR? Seller is super nice and open to offers. You guys can skip the import fees over at the States, why don't you get it? As far as red cross zips go, we won't see another one soon, that's for sure.

I agree and I did! I've been looking for a red jacket for a while, there was a red schott a couple of days ago that went for a bunch of money, so finding this one is kind of a steal.

Not to mention Lancer Leathers is 3x Schott quality (of the same era). This is as good as it gets, seriously.
