This could tempt me to start buying jackets again -

No large size available for you John. Even the medium is a bit tiny. Cowhide? Still good looking though.

the jacket looks great, but too long in chest!

Yes Paul, the same jacket but the tan looks naff. Steve, I have a size XL in russet goatskin, it's only slightly too big for me so large would be the size for me. The size charts don't seem very reliable as there is quite a jump in pit to pit dims. from the M to L. [I think these jackets are quite long in the body.] This jacket is made from the same patterns Levis used in the 1930's so it should be very authentic. The leather is sheep leather, perhaps even known as Cape sheep to some.
Just slightly too much money when you factor in duty, even with very cheap postage at $35.
Cracking jacket.

Daniel Craig wears a similar jacket in the new 007 movie Skyfall.

I think that's the zip up version, still a nice jacket.

Yes it's the zip up. And yes it's very nice.
