I have decided (with great reluctance!) to sell this beautiful and unique collaboration jacket between two giants of contemporary jacket-making -- Himel Bros and Goodwear Leather (John Chapman). I got the jacket a few months ago from another FL member, and I will let it go for what I paid. It was the prototype for the new HB/GW Californian collaboration, but it differs in some details from the jackets they are offering now: this one is a russet, Shinki horsehide; has cuff cinches; different waist cinches; and a different liner. Jacket is marked as a 44, and measurements are included below. I generally wear a 42, and this is only slightly large on me. I'd say it fits like a larger 42 or a smaller 44 (call it a "43"!).
I will include here a link to John Chapman's original listing for the jacket, when it went for $1595. I paid $1075 for it, and will let it go for that much (incl shipping in the US).

Here are a few pics of me (6', 185 lbs or so) wearing it, followed by measurement pics. At 27" the sleeves are definitely on the longer side, and I have instructions from John Chapman about how to have them shortened if desired. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.
