Sorry for the late reply - here are some pics with tailor tape measurements.

Catch and release - this jacket is back up for sale. The leather is beautiful and in great condition given it's age but never cracked my rotation - I usually reach for my Simmons Bilt or Rainbow Country instead. OP's pictures/measurements are accurate but I'm happy to take additional ones for...

Well I really goofed up now. I thought I had a problem with weak fabric holding the male pin starting to fray so I decided to reinforce that area with some fabric glue. Now I can't insert the male pin into the slot at all, the glue must have made the fabric thicker so now it won't fit. It...

I couldn't upload the video to this website I keep getting an error. Here it is on another website. I basically broke the zipper pull off of the head trying to pull it up. I think I need to replace the zipper head - I'd like to use a size bigger than #5, will #8 will that work on this jacket...

I just returned from a 3 week Japan trip so I've got tons of recs and a fat credit card bill: - Americaya in Ueno (I don't think it's called Ameyoko). Americaya is actually 3 stores (including Hinoya). The one you want to go to is called General Garden. This place is a Japanese leather jacket...

I just picked up a highwayman in the same leather in Japan for $1.6K. This is an excellent deal for anyone looking, the seal brown shinki is so amazing
