I recently purchased a Schott goatskin jacket that fits me so much better, so I'd like to move this along to a new home. It has always been quite baggy on me, as I usually wear between a 38 and a 40, and although this is tagged a medium it fits much larger, as per the actual measurements of the jacket. Full grain kangaroo leather is supposed to be the most durable leather in terms of both abrasion and tear resistance for its weight (moreso than goatskin or horsehide, etc.), so this is a fairly lightweight but tough jacket. It's just way too big for me and I've made my piece that I am not likely to grow into it, since it is so oversized. Two hand pockets, two cargo pockets, one inside pocket. Made in the USA.
Asking $345 shipped anywhere in the USA.
Overseas shipping is ok, but is not included in the price.
Payment via PayPal or USPS money order. If you pay via PayPal, you must provide a PayPal verified address

Approx. garment measurements
Pit-to-pit: 24"
Shoulders: 19.5" - 19.75"
Sleeve length: 26"
Sweep (bottom hem): >23" if you pull the knit taut
Back length: just over 25" from base of collar to bottom of hem
Front length: 22.5"
Purchased by me from US Wings last April.
I've worn this a fair bit, and it has seen its share of rain (even a little snow last weekend). The leather seemed just a little bit dry, especially in the lower back where there is the most grain showing from the leather bunching up so much there on account of me being rather skinny (I'm a 30" to 32" waist), so I went ahead and put a light coat of lexol leather conditioner on the jacket as recommended at thefedoralounge forum (some serious leather jacket aficionados there). On the whole, the leather is in great shape, as is the nylon lining; the knits have some cosmetic fuzzing going on, but no holes or snags). #5 brass YKK main zipper still works well enough.
