I bought it because I wanted to be Tom Hardy after seeing the RAF Bomber Jacket from Cockpit USA that Tom Hardy wore recently.
I am 177cm, 73kg and bought a size 40. Does the size look okay?
Wool is very long and rich, so it's hot.
I'm quite pleased. But the skin of the shoulders, back, and elbows is slightly cracked.
I have attached a picture. Does anyone know about this phenomenon?

Looks good on you. One of my sheepskins show a slight "crack" but after years hasn't gotten worse, and with the thick fleece don't feel any cold air coming through. PS you look quite Tom Hardy like.

That's not a crack in the leather.You guys keep forgetting that these coatings are from wartime "engineering" .It is paint on the suede side of the leather to prevent oils,dirt,water to soak into the suede. The paint will crack and flake over time
