Is the awesome brown hide that Lesco uses only on their cross zips? Or would the CR I posted end up looking that marbled? Gracias.

I'm not positive how that posted CR will age and/or marble. I will say that I have a 48 and a 50 Lesco CR (and I'm going to list them as they are too big for me) and one of them has the same brown leather that the CZ has with the same developing marbling. So I can say definitively that it is not exclusive to the CZs. Now after looking at the CR you posted, it APPEARS to have the same leather but in a largely unaged state. It LOOKS like it would age the same. I can't be positive but the strong sense I get is that its the same leather.

Thanks. Makes it a more interesting jacket, for sure. What are the measurements on your CR, size 48?

Claybertrand said:

Mine is untagged but I have a black one that is a tagged 48 and they're the same size.

P2P: 24"
Sleeves Straight Down from shoulder: 25"
Shoulder seam to seam at back: 23.25"
Back Length collar seam to hem: 25"

Wow---didn't realize the shoulders were that wide! P2P may stretch another .5" or so but my main zipper is shot so I wasn't able to stretch on the P2P........

When you grow out of your jacket by a good five sizes but you still insist on wearing the same size number.

Just buy another damn jacket lol!
Would've been nice if the seller had pointed out the extent of butchery to which this jacket was subjected.

He RE-invented the straight cross zip. Lots of custom for sure.
