I had LeatherCareUSA put a #8 YKK metal zipper on a heavy steerhide Aero. The original zipper had gotten messed up down at the cloth part of the bottom of the zipper where you start it. This was a few years ago. It's so much easier to zip now, very happy with it. I think it was about $85...

Having some second thoughts about selling ... and not because of Hide'n'seek's info, although that's interesting. I didn't know that deer suede was a thing. Putting a hold on it for a couple of days until I decide that I really want to sell. I hope that's not uncool. My thought was to get an...

I'll add those measurements later today, but as Will Zach stated, it's harder to determine the fit of shearling jackets based on measurements. I'm 5'8" and about 140lbs. I wear a 33.5" sleeve dress shirt, which is a longer than usual sleeve length for my height. I typically wear a size 38...

Oops, I sent a PM in response to that question but didn't post it here. Here's more information on the measurements. My own measurement of the B-6 is a pit-to-pit 21 (but it feels a bit roomier to me than other jackets that had this P2P measurement) and sleeve 24.5. But on the Thurston Bros...

Overall length about 26.5 or 27.

I bought this off eBay a few years ago. It seems to have been sold through a German clothing store originally. Doesn't seem to be one of their current styles exactly. It fits similar to my size 38 Aero Plainsman, similar length and cut. If you typically wear a 38 you'll have room for a sweater...

Marked as a size 40, I think it fits closer to a 38. Clean, not worn much, no unusual smells. It does have the leather strap and buckle on the reverse side of the collar, just tucked up in these photos. Located in North Carolina. $500

This is so tempting. It would fit me perfectly. The A-2 design has never grabbed me before, but this one sure looks good.

Is this jacket waterproofed in any way?

Well that was fast. Sold!

The Premier Highwayman is a trimmer fitting cut, so this size 40 is really closer to a 38. $450 shipped in CONUS. Black FQHH, nickel zips, black cotton lining, moleskin lined handwarmer pockets, no internal pockets. Not broken in yet, hasn't been worn much. I bought it thinking I would...

Ditto here. Wondering how it would fit someone who takes a true size 38.
