Are you definitely not considering international shipping? (To Australia)

WHY ARE YOU SELLING YOUR GO TO JACKET?

I am sorry for USA shipping only. I have had trouble more than once with simple shipping to Canada where my packages got held in Customs and buyers were upset, so I made the decision to leave it to USA shipping only where I am familiar with the entire process and have some control of both the tracking and time frames.

Going to another recent jacket purchase.

What about shipping with tracking and insurance to Australia so you both know where you stand and are both covered? Fonzie is a stand up guy and I know he has been after a Buco in this size for a while.

Thanks Monitor, I am really enjoying the J106 you sold me while cruising on my Harley.

No worries, if you change your mind please let me know.

And thanks PN for your support!

Cheers.

PM sent to Fonzie with insured shipping cost to Australia. Need his actual city and zip for the most accurate cost.

$97 insured shipping to Australia is the most reasonable I could find. Australia shipping is pretty steep, does anyone know why?

 

[ProteinNerd]

Its in the middle of nowhere....but thats how we like it

Price dropped from $500 shipped to a USA address to $450 shipped.

Jesus, man..you're not making this any easier to resist. What's the leather? Shinki?

 

[Enough]

I think the leather is what Dave referred to as locally sourced mustang horsehide. It is a medium to light weight hide, exceptional grain, drapes well and has an unmistakable horsehide aroma.

Could you show a picture of how you measured the sleeves?

Mendelboaz, this mustang hide is quite flexible compared to FQHH so I laid it flat on a table zipper up and let the sleeves take their most natural position, which is about 45 degrees up from being flat on the sides. I then measured the top edge from the shoulder seam where it meets the sleeve to the end of the sleeve. I will try to get a picture of this measurement up soon.
Thanks

That would be great, thanks. All measurements on this jacket are perfect except for the sleeves-- most of my sleeves measure 25.5-26". If you could PM me that sleeve measurement picture, along with a fit pic, that'd be great.
