outstanding jacket. Wish it was a 44. I’d take a chance on divorce for that one. Totally fetch!

Hey bien, can I ask what the hem measurement is?.....I'm trying to convince myself that it could be a generous 38...

 

[bien]

Ok here are some initial shots of this beauty. I much prefer natural lighting but was in a hurry to take these last night. I may add some photos to this post. The steerhide on this is nice and light but can clearly take a beating. The fit is just about exactly what I'd expected, that is to say that it's proportional in almost all ways save for a bit of shortness in the sleeves and a minute drop shoulder. At 6 ft 3 with orangutan arms, I've gotten used to accepting slightly shorter sleeves when I find something I really like. And I REALLY like this jacket. It is the only steerhide jacket I currently own but that's not because I don't like steerhide. It's mainly because the jackets I've fallen in love with have been made with horsehide or deerskin. The wear on this bad boy is unreal. I really like the fit, even the slight drop shoulder works with this jacket imo. It is similar to my Himel Kensington but compliments it by being it's own arguably cooler thing. Many thanks to the sellers of this jacket. I know I got lucky with this one. Cheers!
