What is it on the left sleeve? Looks like wrong attached.

possibly the stitching have come undone at the seams?

According to the description of the jacket the seller says:

The right sleve on the back side has some stiching torn only the stiches ,and not the leather ,about a 6" section will need restiched some time

this is for right sleeves. No problem.

but my question about left.
Looks strange.

Looks strange.

It looks to me like the sleeves have been removed then reattached covering the shoulder burying half of the box stitch in the process. I wonder why? Trying to make the shoulders narrower? I wonder if it was a period change?

Caveat emptor to anyone considering this jacket. This is the last reply I got from the Man. Over a series of emails (shoulda taken a lot less but he was evasive) I had asked the typical barrage of questions regarding details- the last one I questioned the shoulders and gave him this link to what it should look like...

"Hello I can't believe Ive wasted this time with you Pleae just buy a new one and leave
the serious collectors alone Good God what a pain in the ass you are I wouldn't sell it
to now for amy price Is there something wrong with you? The shoulders being taken off and
reattached? What are you Nuts/ Good bye and blocked"

How's that for Customer Care. I hope no-one gets stung by him.

it has nipple studs at the collar. I thought ELC were criticised for not using ring snaps on their cable

They actually used both nipple snaps and ring snaps. There is one with ring snaps on JC's Flight jacket CD.
