Pretty much. That's what we call patina kids. And yes, it's good. Very good.F*****g Rockin'.....

How does it feel Coop? Is it comfortable or are you overlooking it 'cause it's so nice (and expensive)? That's what matters. What about a wife or other mate? What do they think? I appreciate my family because they're honest
How does it feel? If i'm honest, it feels restrictive and wearing a sweater under it is impossible. The fact that I haven't worn it much should've told me, but you're right I overlooked it because I know the current price and wait time really rules out a new one. I am still carrying a bit of extra winter weight, it's true, but as Grayland said I won't drop enough to make a big difference to the fit.
My wife says it looks fine for a jacket of that style, she's very diplomatic! It's a tough decision, which is why I've put it off for so long.
Butte - It's real tough one mate, I love the thing but zipped up it's like a glove. It is wearable when it's open, which is why I've hung onto it - the price of a new one is just a killer!
Any room to let out the side adjustment tabs?
The lengths all look good, especially sleeve & shoulder...JMHO
If only, the straps are flat out :-(

Coop. That's close to my sons size. PM me if you have a price. I'll show him pics and see if he's interested.Butte - the hide on that Dubow is stunning, the depth of color, the grain, everything. If your Ventura is made from the same stuff as that it's going to be very special!Horsehide - I would let the Ventura and the vintage half belt go, if I got a fair price, but they are both a vintage fit and feel like a 38", which would probably rule a lot of people out.
Hi Cooperson,
I'd love to take this off your hands! I have responded in the classifieds.
Kind regards,
Stephen
Cooperson-
You've inspired me as I'm in the exact same boat with one of my jackets. Fits great everywhere but it's too snug when zipped because it tapers to 19" at the waist...I'm going to put mine up for sale as well...
Good luck passing yours along. It's a beauty.
