Square Pocket Steerhide Herc I got from Terry some time ago. Lining was replaced with one with wool backing I got from Greg Field, quality stuff, also in sleeves. A great lightweight jacket for colder days. Asking $260 shipped CONUS, PP FF.

Pit to pit - 22
S2S - 18.5
Sleeve - 24
Back - 24.5

From the pic with the tape this looks like it’s 25.5” back, is that accurate? I’d be I interested if that were the case! The one I had was absurdly short 23.5”. Sleeves on yours look longer too.

The back is 24 1/4-in The tape did not lay flat on the pic, I used a steel tape to remeasure. The sleeves are 24-in straight down. You won't fit into this jacket, Ton. This jacket is for a guy 5-9 to 5-11 and up to 160-170 lbs by my reckoning.

Sigh, appreciate the honesty! It’s a great example of the style, particularly with the fresh liner. GLWS.

Is this still for sale? Would be interested, would need to add shipping to N.Z if you're willing to do so. Cheers

Still available. I just quoted someone shipping to Sydney, which was $113. Shipping to NZ should be similar, but I can check.
