Going up for sale now that it is back from being repaired. Note the details in this related thread, and that all seams and stitching (external) are repaired now. Liner still has some fraying, could be repaired by a seamstress shop.
Now for sale only on EBAY! https://www.ebay.com/itm/153700915832

And the lining will need a little work as well. However it's quite a wearable jacket as-is. There is a light tobacco odor, however the leather smell is trying to come back!
Leather - More likely a cowhide but who really knows? It's 2.5 ounce weight, nice patina and grain. Estimate the weight at 5 lbs. Very black, no teacore effect at all.
Age, I suspect 1960's given the zippers and overall style plus the action back sleeve & rear shoulders. All zippers work well and still feel substantial.
Here's the measurements, I would tend to place this squarely as a 46R if it has something like a tag:
Shoulders: 20"
Pit to Pit 24.5"
Waist (adjustable): 22.5"
Sleeve Length Straight: 24.5
Sleeve Length Around: 26"
Torso Length (from bottom of collar to hem): 22"
Main Zipper stops 3" short of hem
Rest of images on linked thread. If weather cooperates tomorrow, I'll take some good clear photos of repaired areas. Thanks for looking!
