Hi everyone Newbie here.
I've recently pulled the trigger on the Eastman Leather Clothing A-2 Rough Wear® Contract 27752 and it looks awesome, however I noticed it arrived with some minor damage on the cuff. It looks some thread has been pulled out.
Its my first ever major leather jacket purchase, so I have no idea what to expect in terms of build quality and craftsmanship. I've already had to return the .50 cal which I originally bought due to size+cut incompatibility with my body, so I feel kinda bad asking to dealing with such a minor thing.
Just looking to get an opinion, is this worth asking for an exchange over? or is this quite common when it comes to the production of these knitted cuffs? I'm probably just overthinking it, and could probably just drop the Eastman guys an email and see what they think first, because they did assure me I had nothing to worry about despite these jackets being hand made, they should look perfect.
I guess I'm asking because I'm in Australia and it costs upwards of $200 for delivery back to the UK including insurance, which really sucks. Thats 10% of the original jacket, every time.
What do you guys think? - Sam
