What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

I know we’ve gotten into this before, but I can’t find the old posts.
Here’s the jacket. Very squared-off shoulders. I’m thinking maybe Martin Lane? However I don’t see the rectangular stitching around the hanger tab, and the tab sits quite high. Appreciate any help.

It looks like my Brill Bros...... though mine doesn't have a hang tab

I'm wearing a quasi military jacket today....
My Belgian/French fireman jacket!
It kinda blends in to a crowd better plus it's got a incredibly warm "picnic blanket" lining

Have not snaffled anything from Japan in a while.

Newly purchased overnight.

Never stop never stopping the jacket buys!

A nice 23380 by The Few. Have never had anything from these guys. As usual, the hide and colour did it...

Great price too. 'PayPal in 4' will allow for some more of the higher priced Yahoo Japan listings in the near future...
Oh my God! Arrived yesterday! Stunning hide. Will show it off this weekend.

Labelled 44"
Very soft and pliable hide. Muted dark red knits.
Nicely finished test jacket. Mark was a pleasure to deal with.

I've regained weight and condition since buying so the jacket is a little snug but still feels fine.

Hello Steve,

Images are small, but it's still looks like a stunner in live! I am curious how the skin with the special Norshor finish is going to age?

From the measurements, I would definitely have to go for a size 40.

Thank you for posting.

Dany

Sorry Dany, the photos looked ok on the phone but checking on the laptop I see what you mean about the size. I have edited the post and uploaded some larger versions.
