I have a hard time believing this jacket has a 26 inch back length. These measurements don't mean anything without a pic of them being taken with the measuring tape.

The back length is 22, they have measured from the top of the collar.

This has got me questioning a lot of things. Spectacular...

Good catch! Too small for me, so moot. But that’s a detail I could’ve easily missed if I were excited to get a good deal on something. (Actually I think at this price it’s a fair deal - nothing I’d snatch before anyone else could grab).

SCHOTT 141 Sz. 46 - So clean! Not sure if Poshmark listings are a no-no, but this was oh so close to coming to my home. I think it’s a steal.

Interesting to know. I don't think I've seen darts in that location on any leather jacket, male or female. I have seen similar back-of-shoulder darts on non-leather men's jackets—some old GAP men's spring jackets, and also on the Y-3 jacket ("the Haiti jacket") Daniel Craig wore in Quantum of Solace.

I have a Thurlow deerskin car coat that I'm otherwise certain is a men's jacket (given the front closure buttons being on the right side as well as the general proportions and size), but there are two vertical darts where it's been taken in, right in the center of the back, that make me wonder, as I've never seen darts in that location on a men's jacket before. But maybe it's a normal alteration. Dunno. The jacket fits me. Probably wouldn't think as much about it if it were a wool pea coat or something. Just looks odd on an animal hide. I need to post pics and get some opinions.

Your Sportclads have the size marked somewhere, correct? Inside the patch pocket?

My Kurland measures 23.5” back length. It also has a 24” P2P.

Edit- Did seller send you a picture of the length measurement? And the P2P? Thanks.

Yes, ask the seller to check the pockets, all the pockets. back could be 22.5 no longer, bottom of collar.

This jacket came to light here on TFL. @Mysteryo put up his Kurland, I had an early Sportclad, they were the same and the legend was born. I had one when we put 2+2 and now I have 4. They are held in high esteem by all the owners here, especially me and I'm still in the Hunt.

I've had detailed interactions with the last 3 sellers trying to figure out the size.

It says it is a size 40. It is front button closure with 3 bulky buttons. Has 2 front pockets. Has a warm chocolate brown lining. This coat is pre-owned. ISSUES: All I see is a slight dirty mark probably where the elbow would be.

Thanks for sharing Coriu. I picked it up, because it seems like something my mom would like.

I love this at the moment and it's been on my watch list for a while. It's my size and it's literally no money at all, but I also know that I would never ever wear it.

£700 is a lot of money. But I would've hit BIN if it had some waist cinch. Field Leather Speedmaster Sheene?
Where is that bodybuilder gent who had a Kensington but wanted something slimmer at the waist?
