Now that’s a perfect fit, looks like bespoke !

Thank you gents.  The jacket is really hefty.  When it showed up from UPS, I was surprised about how heavy the package was.

Looking to grab one in brown. The shoulder/sleeve numbers seem way too big for me. Am i missing something? Don’t typically have that problem with IH shirts or jackets.

I really wish this jacket was made without the extremely long sleeves.  I normally wear a medium in the shirt sizes.  I sized down to a small when I ordered the jacket.  But need to send back because the sleeves are almost an inch too long still.

You’ll lose an inch in those sleeves once you set some creases in the arms.

I was expecting the sleeves to gain length over time since leather can stretch.  Can anyone share pictures of this jacket with set creases in the sleeves?

@kujo Here is a picture of a member’s @Dishelveled jacket and the link to his post.  It’s a pretty good illustration of how the creases set in the arms and how you lose length overall.

Can’t speak to this particular leather, but they say with horse and steer it can be over an inch of loss sometimes. Def won’t get any longer

My wife got me this jacket for my birthday. It is amazingly warm and heavy and I love it.

One thing I noticed (which I'm not sure is to spec) is a couple of the button holes seem unfinished, almost as if they weren't cut to the same size as the others and without brown finishing thread holding together the layers around the button hole. Those button holes are very difficult to button since it seems they're not fully cut. Has anyone experienced that?

[Giles]

Please could you post some pics

[Polemides]

Sure. Here's a comparison between some buttonholes that look unfinished (to me) and finished. The unfinished buttons are very difficult to button up and seem to have some inner layer coming out.

Here's a shot of the jacket as a whole.
