Great jacket just to big on me otherwise I would not be selling.

Happy to make a deal outside of eBay, through eBay it’s Australian shipping only due to COVID sorry - saying that will ship internationally at cost, have sold a few jackets here and a ton of stuff on eBay if your interested contact me and let’s work out the details

I have one of Mark’s test jackets and it’s absolutely gorgeous. Can’t go wrong with the quality here.

Yes its exceptionally well made, just wish it was smaller I probably need a 38 it’s a case of I love the jacket but its just to big and it won’t get worn, what I like the most is the chest D pocket great for a large iPhone making the pocket very functional.

Couple more photos had a question about the mark on the arm.

No idea on the history of this jacket appears to be lightly worn from new I’m not the original owner, if it was a couple sizes smaller would be a keeper very unique easy, lightweight and easy to wear jacket.

The marks on the arm were there when I acquired the jacket & are in my opinion some type of colour loss maybe from a scrape? showing the leather underneath, when wiped with a damp cloth they all but disappear, when the leather dries they reappear, if it was paint the colour would stay the same when wiped with a damp cloth.

That abrasion is loss of the top surface/colour. I had a Good Wear Dubow of similar vintage using the same horsehide; it also had similar wear at the creases. Nothing serious.

Thanks, if it bothered anyone I’m guessing a dab of russet coloured boot polish would fix the problem, there is no damage to the leather its simply a loss of colour, if I was to keep the jacket I would go the boot polish route most likely
