I'll Lock Up

Despite my FL departure, i'm still finding lots of good vintage that doesn't fit me. I'm not into the whole eBay selling thing, so i'm going to offer a few pieces of interesting vintage clothing here over the next few weeks. I know there's less interest around here in civilian than military, but i'll give it a go anyway. I'll also be asking Alan to post some pics of finds that do fit me. There are some stunners in there.
First up, because it's the only one i've photographed so far, is this lovely brown horsehide half belt jacket with cafe-style collar. The leather and seams are sound; very nice wear pattern. I have not treated this jacket with any conditioners. Problems: the zipper works but should have a new male side fitted as it's coming away at the base. I think there's a bit of fraying at the lining of the cuffs. The chest pocket has a chain-link type zipper but it's lost most of the chain somewhere along the way. It still works; the chain's just short.
It's about a size 38 (see measurements below). It fit Paddy pretty much perfectly when he tried it on a few months ago; maybe he can advise people of its true size.
Chest: 21.5" (across front)
Arm: 23.25" (from shoulder seam to cuff)
Shoulders: 19" (straight across top of shoulders from seam to seam)
Length: 24" (from collar seam to hem straight down back)
I'm looking to get £100 for the jacket. Shipping will be extra and determined if i get some interest. Check http://www.x-rates.com for the exchange rate to your currency. I don't want to use paypal. I can accept personal cheques in US$, €, or GB£. I'll be checking PMs once every couple of days if you're interested.
The jacket retains its original plaid wool liner, and label, though the label has seen better days it clearly states "Horsehide".
