U.S. Authentic R.A.F. Custom Sheepskin Seal Brown 42

Lightly used somewhat “civilized” custom RAF made in U.S.A. This is the best quality jacket I own, fits me well with room for layering. But it’s just not getting worn since purchasing in 2019.

I liked the RAF style, but wanted a slightly less “authentic military”, slightly more civilian look. Most notable: Reduced collar width, removed zippers at cuffs and longer body length.

Also tweaked sizing by ordering a stock jacket and returning with sizing notes. These notes along with styling tweaks are included in photos. I started with a size 40 with an expansion here and tuck there. I’d estimate the final size to be a roomy 42.

Note the neck strap change in description. I deleted the d-ring in favor of a “belt” style. It was sent without hole punches.

3/4” loft fur is thick, luxurious and consistent with no flattening. No discoloration at inside collar.

Light scuffs here and there, most significant near one elbow, see pics. I’d estimate about a dozen full-day wears. Outer layer sheepskin is nice and thick, but does seem to show wear quickly.

I will include fit pics later. These retailed at $925 in 2019, around $1200 with my customizations. Used price $575 with shipping included in CONUS. Thanks!

Back length: 27-1/4”
Shoulder: 22”
Sleeve: 24-1/4”
Pit to pit: 24”
Bottom hem: 23-1/2”

In standard leather jacket sizing I take a 19” shoulder and 24-3/4 sleeve.

Some fit pics. I am 5-9” tall, 190lbs. Medium/athletic build. With a t-shirt this is quite roomy on me, on review I’d personally call it a 42/44. Up close from certain angles, you can see some base leather color showing through, as seen in last photo.
