This is a great jacket, nice strong cowhide (similar priced jackets are usually Lamb Skin), has decent zippers (Number 5 YKKs, not the best, but work well) and the seams have a nice finish. This jacket tends more to the formal in length and fit, would work well with a tie but certainly looks great with a crew neck or Henley underneath. The stitching is tight and well done with no loose trim ends or over stitch. I am 5'11", 200 pounds with a 42 inch chest and this jacket in size large fits like a glove. The weight of the leather is thick enough to give it some weight and the good leather jacket heft I like when worn. The lining is a sheer smooth polyester that makes taking it on and off easy and also aids in movement when reaching up or bending the sleeves, allowing the coat to move smoothly over what;s worn underneath.
