Well it finally arrived and despite the duty of ?Ǭ£138 it was worth it.
What can I say other than I am dumbfounded by the quality this jacket oozes.
Leather:
Russet brown 4 oz. horsehide. This stuff will probably stop a bullet. It smells good but not so it's overpowering. The surface has medium shine and some grain.
Lining:
Brown/beige alpaca. This is warm and not at all itchy. The colour goes very well woth the outer.
Cut/Style:
This jacket is comfortable to wear and is very stylish. The closest comparison would be to an Irvin both in shape and length especially as it has a belt. The single patch pocket is a Knockout. The collar completely encloses my head almost like a sawn-off hood !
Value:
Worth every penny. Totally unique, you'll never see another one.
Construction:
The stitching is uniform and even to perfection all over. I can't imagine what it's like to sew this stuff. One slip and it's goodbye finger
Comments:
The leather is so strong and inflexible at the moment that it's almost impossible to close any of the buttons or snaps. I have some problems getting the zip to start.
Verdict:
Buy one !
