That was *cabretta leather. And it is identical to the jacket you posted a few years ago.

Hi Shian, I really don't know much about the Herms Leather Togs company. I can only say that the jackets are very well made, the leather is thick and the details are well thought out. It's very unusual design with the epaulets and striking red lining. And I love the label!

BTW I just pulled my Herms out of the closet a few days ago and tried it on. It breaks my heart, but I've decided my Herms is just the wrong size for me, so I'll likely be selling it up on ebay. Let me know if you're interested I'll give you first look. Cheers, Michael

Can you send the measurements?

Sure-
Shoulder seam to shoulder seam:18"
Pit to pit: 21"
Shoulder seam to end of sleeve: 25"

I think that should fit my brother, I'll have to measure one of his jackets though. How much were you thinking?

Seems like the going price is about $350 for Herms Leather Togs jackets and that's what I was going to put it up on ebay for...but I can do $300 for you if you want it.

That seems very fair to me. I just have to check the measurements and I'll get back to you in a few hours. It's so lucky that I got to you at this opportune moment! Thanks

Yes. I put the jacket on yesterday morning to go have coffee at my favorite cafe, and I looked in the mirror and thought "Honestly, this jacket has never really fit me quite right. Maybe it's time I send it to a new home..."
Cheers,
Michael

It's really crazy how perfect those measurements are! So do you just want to tell me right before you put it on eBay so I can buy it before anyone else?
