It looks right and has the Lewis Leathers oval on the left upper arm.Not really a deal, and not 100% sure if this blue jacket is really a Lewis. The style is pretty cool though.

A new Aero board racer Vicenza horsehide jacket, size 38, in olive drab/green. I bought this from Thurston Bros in 2017 and either misread the sleeve size or misjudged. Either way, the sleeves are too short for my liking and, unfortunately, life got in the way and I never managed to see about exchanging it. Four years later and I've never worn it beyond the initial try-on. Time to make room in the closet. A real shame as it's a beautiful jacket and I love the olive drab. I'll end up getting one made to fit eventually.
Length (down the back, from base of the collar to hem): 25"
Arm pit-to-pit: 20"
Sleeve length: 24.75"
Shoulders (sleeve shoulder seam to seam): 17.5"

To be honest, I forgot the Fedora Lounge Classifieds were even a thing. I admittedly don't post too often and go through reading spurts (religiously reading threads for a week or two and then dropping off the map for a while).
Be careful with the measurements on this steerhide Hercules jacket, ask photos to the seller.

I just bought a similar Hercules in horsehide, from the same seller, and there are big differences between the mesaurements mentioned, and the ones I took myself : the main defference was the chest, it was written 55cm PtP (which is less than 22 inches circonference), and I did measure
the jacket at almost 23,5 inches (60 cm PtP). Other measurements were closer, but still a bit less than what I did measure myself. That was not a problem for me as it fits still ok, but that may not be the case for everyone. The jacket is in great condition anyway.
If I could afford it, I would buy this steerhide one too. But the shoulders would definitely be too big for me on this one (at least 51 cm as mentioned).60cm would be perfect for me. Must resist messaging the seller. Must resist. This also is one of my favorite jackets.

The HH I just bought from this seller is a dream. You should ask...
I wish you didn't show me this. This jacket is alpha and omega.
