Somehow, it's even worse than I imagined.... it's like they nailed every detail, then decided to slap this on at 4.59pm on a Friday and yelled "Ship it!"

You may be right - such an eyesore to look at though lol

That's a very curious looking "pocket". It does seem like there's no opening. Was it decorative? Did they forget to install a flap like so. No idea on my end. Any idea on the maker or model of this jacket? In terms of being aesthetically pleasing, I tend to favor D-pockets. But the ones that...

I agree. Without alteration, easier to just resell it. Plenty of demand for LW jackets, especially with a 42 tag lol

What kind of LW jacket are you looking at? I ask because my usual size is a 42. But I can wear a J23/Leathertogs with 44 tag and they fit great - no alteration needed. Have you compared the measurements with your other jackets? In general that’s more important than the tag size. Hard to opine...

These jackets do teacore, but that should not be normal for a brand new one. It's probably due to the cuff rubbing against something while it was handled or transported. Why don't you tell your friend to shoot them an email with that picture and ask for an exchange?

Thanks for uploading these! Looks fantastic and the patina on the belt loops is icing on the cake. Starting to see some potential on mine, mostly on the inner side. Though in this case, potential is potential... it’s what’s on the outside that counts :D

Nice man, Welcome to Flushing, Queens!

Just saw this - but looks like it got picked up. Anyway it’s a unique pocket config - I’ve only seen it on Annex Apparel.

Lol I know... ever since I got mine, it's been like a sell off Anyways good luck with yours - I have a feeling you won't regret it.
