New jacket has finally come! Thoughts on it?

[Leatheradmirer]

Hello everyone! After going back and forth with a seller about the jacket I previously asked I finally decided to pull the trigger and grab the jacket to my addition.
It's a Toyo's Indian Sportswear Horsehide with hair-on Sportscoat, this is how it looks in person!



And closer look on the jacket:








I really like how the jacket turned out, I thought the color was going to be flat / dull but it turns out it already has beautiful patina (I took the pictures after giving it a light conditioning with Obenauf's LP).
Overall condition is very nice with everything still intact other than a broken buckle on the left sleeve and slightly deformed right shoulder (probably due to storing issue by the previous owner).

What do you guys think about it? Is this one a keeper? And does anyone have experience on how to properly care for the hair-on?

I have no experience with hair-on jackets but it does lol nice. Please take some pictures if you wearing it. Would be nice to see fit pictures. How does it fit on you?

The only recommendation I have or at least my personal preference only is I would loosen the belt at the wrist so the fabric does not look squeezed. It looks more like a “suit” style jacket than a motorcycle jacket so no need to cinch it up.

Fit-wise not the brightest due to my height at 160cm (5'3) so the sleeves and body are always too long for me unless I opt for altering route (which I am not interested). But you get the idea why I cinch the sleeve buckles lol

I personally really like how the jacket looks though, especially with denim trousers, it doesn't feel like a suit/blazer-style leather jacket to me, more like a workwear one.
