Need someone to save me from keeping this. I don't need another leather jacket!
◀INFO▶
Branded Garments NYPD Police Patrolman's jacket in a size 42.
Mind-blowing quality. Seriously, I don't think I have ever came across anything like this. Ever! I had the same model by Vanson and it's inferior in both weight and construction.
Insane - and I really mean it - in-freaking-sane quality!
Made from an extremely heavy leather. Thicker than even what my Cal Leathers is made in. Not overly stiff but enough for the jacket to feel bulletproof. Just perfect.
Also, it's got that tea-core effect going on (visible only at a few places) as the black finish was applied over a bright red-brown hide. Safe to say, it's going to look out of this world with wear.
The quality of the jacket is only matched by its functionality. These jackets have always been among my favorite and because of the hand-warmers and the additional length, this one might possibly be the most practical leather jacket I have ever owned. Good for any situation life might throw your way. Some of the features are...
• Six pockets; two button closure chest pockets, two canvas lined hand-warmers and two deep vertical inside pockets, lined in heavy denim
• Insulated quilted lining (the sleeves are lined it as well) - very warm!
• Hidden storm cuffs
• Wind flap
• Side straps with an elastic band, adjustable by two snaps that reach all the way through the front panels, so the jacket always sits tight and where it should. Or you can just unsnap them altogether and the elastic band will pull and hide the straps inside the jacket - Feature intended with a holster in mind.
• Leather lined kidney panel
• Heavy, #10 Lenzip main zipper
• Etc.
◀CONDITION▶
I honestly believe it hasn't even been worn. Ever. Possibly just tried on a couple of times but I'd rate it as New. Looks, feels and smells new. Can't find a single reason to call it used.
◀SIZE▶
Size 42 and it fits true to size. Nothing over-sized about this jacket. Shapely, flattering fit. Fits me as if it was tailored for me.
The exact measurements are...
• Chest: 23" / 59 cm
• Shoulders: 19.5" / 49 cm
• Sleeves: 26.5" / 67 cm
• Back: 28" / 71 cm
...waist is fully adjustable so no reason to measure it.
◀PRICE▶
Firm $360. Paypal, F&F. Once you get the jacket, you'll realize you've bought an end-game piece basically for peanuts. I guarantee you that this jcaket cannot be outclassed. In a sane world, no repro or any other jacket on the market would cost more than this one.
I'll regret selling this jacket but if I keep it, I won't ever put on any of my cross-zips again. That's literally the only reason I want to move it. I'm selling an Aero HWM in another thread for twice as much money and honestly, next to this jacket, feels like I'm robbing someone. This is 10x better. No comparison. Best I stop rambling, tho.

Makes all of my other jackets look like they've been bought from Zara.
