$350 shipped in the US. NO trades 
Selling as I ordered a new LW and I don't wear this one anymore; it is short on me and though I love this jacket and wore it a lot I have to face the facts.
Two issues:
-Zipper is not perfect. It works fine, but it's a little loose / small amount of separation on the left side i.e. the insert. You just have to be careful zipping it up and it is fine. If you are careless it will continue to separate. I am the second owner, had it for 3 years; it came to me with this issue and it has not gotten worse in that time.
-Left sleeve lining is separating, see pics.
On the plus side this jacket is fantastically broken in and is just killer all around, tons of character, naturally aged brass, heavy TALON zipper. You will LOVE it. Size 38, seal brown goatskin, heavy duty. And if you need to down the road you can have these issues repaired or lining / zipper replaced.
There also seems to be a very slight sweet smell about it, partly leather but perhaps a slight cologne residual. Not mine, never bothered me, but want to give full disclosure.
Pit - pit - 20"
Sleeve - 24.5" conservatively (i.e. I can make it 25" depending on the tape)
Waist - 21"
Back - measures 25.5" however this is a shorter jacket in front than this measurement would indicate
Shoulder - 17.75"
Shoulder seam - 5.75"
I'm 6 feet tall, I recommend someone several inches shorter than that purchases this, as it's just too short for my size. I've owned other jackets with very similar measurements, this one feels more roomy and comfortable than the measurements would seem to indicate.
