LVC Menlo Cossack (goatskin) XL

Here are some images of the goatskin version of the LVC Menlo Cossack (from the 2008 season) that I bought recently following the sale of my steerhide version. The latter (now in France) was just a bit on the heavy side for me (although it is a supple hide).

This is the washed russet goat, which is a superb hide and looks really vintage. The jacket is unlined, with red Bakelite buttons which complete the 1930s look. The stitching looks great (particularly the French seams to the back panel) and the button holes are really well finished.

Bit on the cold side for this one today (the other images were taken wearing a B-15), but it'll be ideal for summer weather. LVC sizing is all over the place - this is marked XL, but is very trim and smaller than the steerhide that was marked as a 'Large' - I'm wearing a layer or two underneath today and it's snug. Ideally, it just needs a shirt/T shirt or thin sweater.

The waist straps are currently folded as they're a bit on the long side, but I'm going to trim them up later.

Here it is alongside a couple of other 1920s/1930s styled buttoned jackets .

thanks Ian.

I missed it, I have not been a visitor to the forum as much lately.
