I fudged up. Can anyone identify this jacket? (Picture included)

Long story short, that is my roommate, he let me borrow that jacket on a gambling trip. I won lots of money while wearing it, then after a few too many drinks, I misplaced it. And I feel very bad about it.

He claims it is a vintage designer jacket worth approximately 250 English Pounds (he got it in England). I think it looks like one of the 80s style Leather Member's Only Jackets, but from that image I see a few differences. Notably the collar and the cuffs are different, however the bottom fringe of the jacket is that sweater style like around the collar. (And the blue bit is a scarf, so disregard that)

If anyone can recognize this jacket, know where to find another one, or happen to have one that they would be willing to part with, I would be greatly appreciative (and compensate accordingly).

Thanks for the help Styleforum.net

Just buy your roommate a comparably priced jacket of his choosing and move on.

The likelihood of finding that exact jacket is extremely low. You won money; you got a bit drinky; you lost his jacket. Use some of the winnings to replace it.

That's the plan, just thought I'd give the ol internet a shot.

Gotcha. Thought you might be trying to get out of your mess on the cheap.

Best of luck.

While that would be ideal, I am just trying to rectify my situation as best I can.

Thanks.

Give him the money. He was nice enough to let you borrow his jacket.
