Hi guys - I've been looking at this jacket recently, it's a kinda Cossack style with a regular collar instead of a shawl collar. Have any of you had experience with it, or advice on build, fit, sizing etc?

You're overthinking the "official jacket terminology" stuff.

Do you like the jacket? Does it fit? Get it.

If you're curious about alternatives, there are countless ones. The knits here have a cool look.

Have no idea about this jacket but I would just make sure the length is right for you. Many of their leather jackets tend to be long.

Not sure if this can of worms bears opening but when did ‘Cossack’ come to mean a shawl collar jacket? Every vintage catalog lists Cossack jackets as a sport jacket with size strap adjusters regardless of the collar.

Thanks for the advice, Jeo. I will check the measurements. I'm just over 6ft tall so I'm usually more worried about jackets being too short!
