Looks like a nice tea-core leather to me. Doesn’t horween has a similar one? Milan or something like that…

Horween Lux is super fast to patina in this way.

^yep that one. Think you end up with a similar effect. One day I like it, another day I feel it’s a bit much and I’d rather get a nice brown jacket. Not 100% convinced.

Here's one that I keep waiting to see in the wild. Takes the whole elongated torso thing to another level.

That is more interesting in a way, it is a coat with typical MC detailing, not a jacket anymore. As an experiment it is interesting. But I think it would be more interesting with buttons instead of that long zip.

Or for a lot less money and a much cooler story, you could get the real deal in the classifieds:

I find the second lower set of pockets to be an... ahem... interesting detail, especially on the wearer's right, just below the other handwarmer pocket.

Agreed, it is completely off. I was just using it as an inspiration to visualise something that could be fun :)

In all truth I'd way prefer that over the Perfecto-style jackets I was seeing around a lot a couple of years ago that were all about 29". This one looks like it's an intentionally longer coat, and the addition of the extra set of pockets helps balance it. Those 29 inchers, ugh.... just looked all out of whack, the jacket equivalent of those attempts to fake a pair of proper, on the natural waist rise trousers where they just add depth to a modern pattern and leave the stubby zip on it...

To be clear, I think this type of ‘patina’ looks disgusting— a month old jacket shouldn’t look more worn out than an 80 year old one, but point is there are options haha.
