I am probably going to regret this, but the jacket collection needs to be culled, and this beautiful thing does not get worn very often. Purchased new from Eastman back in 2014. Gets worn maybe twice a year. Without fail, I get compliments every time I wear it.
Condition: It is nicely broken...
Yikes! Here are those measurements omitted from my original post.

Sleeve (uncuffed, from shoulder seam to end): 16.5"
Back Length (from collar seam to bottom): 18"

Hi all,
I recently got ahold of a Buzz Rickson B-15 flight jacket. It's in decent shape. Really meant as a "knock-around" jacket. It's coming secondhand, so I'd like to get it dry cleaned for good measure. Will the dry cleaning damage the fur collar? I expect there are folks on here who have...
