The lining is synthetic, as far as I know, as opposed to the collar. IMHO, doesn't change much, as long as it's warm (spoiler alert: it is
).@Edward you should check on VLJ forum, there's a couple people there with the Fivestar M421.

Looking for some answers and opinions. I was planning to order this jacket https://www.fivestarleather.us/prod...er-classic-western-denim-style-leather-jacket
First question, what size would you recommend getting? I'm a 44-45 chest and 6'2 205 with an athletic build. Should I go with the xl or 2xl?
Second question, is there much of weight or quality difference between the goat and the horse hide? I'm ok with the price difference if the quality is that much better on the horse hide. I've read through the thread and another question, should I ask for a 3 piece curved sleeve on this jacket or is the standard design good to go?
Thanks

I've got this jacket in black horse hide. The leather is unevenly thick over the jacket, the neck hole is huge and the sleeves are as straight as planks. Now, I did not indicate three piece curved sleeve nor did I give them neck size.
The horsehide is pretty good but I don't know their goat leather.
My general advice is to be as detailed as you can possibly be when you order. I am 6'5" 255, and since I was not excruciatingly detailed in my order, like @MrProper, the jacket came quite big and I had to have it tailored. Still have it and wear it. It's ok.
Good luck

I also got the same jacket in brandy hh. I supplied them with neck,shoulder,arm opening, bicep width, length, wrist opening, waist and length measurements and specified 3 peice curved arms. I'm happy with mine but it's a real crap shoot.
Are you happy with the arms of the jacket? Did you use your dress shirt neck size or what measurement did you use?

I think I measured a jackets neck that I liked. For the neck measurement I just put what I wanted the opening to be across so a diameter I didn't supply a circumference. I'm happy with the arms but I'm not nearly as experienced as some guys around here and things that don't bother me might bother someone with more experience. When you see more experienced guys fits it shows.
