My 50's Swedish goatskin dispatch rider coat, which came the day after I broke my ****** arm (hence the non-wear pictures).
It's utterly amazing on me (I usually have to get "custom" in the arms since I'm built like a orangutan)

70 year old goatskin means it's finally got character to the leather and the way it buttons up from either side isn't something I've seen before.

Awesome jacket. I have one in brown. Although this is not a dispatch riders jacket. These were called brewers tailcoat and were used as workwear in breweries originally but spread to a lot of other industries early to mid 1900s. Even used as protective gear by the Swedish post office in the 1950s.
