Why do you let it go? It's a perfect fit and a very unique jacket. I just don't get it. Why are there so many guys having jackets custom made for a hefty price only to sell them after a few times of wear?

The longer arms wouldn't work for me, but this is probably the best looking leather jacket I've ever seen. The goatskin is beautiful and I love that color. This deserves a trip back up to the top.

Wow, someone has to snap this up. If I were richer and the jacket slightly larger, it would be me. Grayland is right - one of the best leather jackets seen. To be fair to Jan, he does have quite a few jackets.

Hi

I'm very interested Jan. I'm 186 cm tall and 85 kilos. I generally wear a 42 in a suit. Would this fit me? What is the back length and front length?

What does it weigh? That's a key issue for me.

I don't think it would fit, Seb. I'm 186 cm tall as well, but 78 kilos and a 40 chest. My 1930s Halfbelt fits very trim, and it's based on a size 40. I asked for a trim fit, but with room enough to wear a sweater. Can't do this comfortably.
