My size 48 5-zip has 18" shoulders, 18.5" across the back. The dropped look works on my jacket since the material is thin (kangaroo leather) and drapes nicely. Not sure if it would work on a thicker leather like horse/calf though

My red horse 5-zip still feels really stiff, tempted to wash it.

What kind of leather is this? (I see that it is calf, but the texture looks interesting)


Looks like the matte calf they had on sale 2-3 season ago, it is thinner than the usual calf and had a slight blue hue that was on ssense iirc. These pics are from Aloharag of the same jacket.

Tan 5zip at Yoox looks nice.


I got the tan and sold it, it would only look good with somebody who has naturally darker skin. Looked bad on me but then again I'm pretty white

Probably not going to find a new (or like new) black 5-zip for $1,000 man. You'll be lucky if you find one. Prices have been increasing over the last couple of years and these things sell out at full retail, especially since the the jacket/brand have been hyped up so much. Your best bet is probably to keep an eye out on eBay... not sure if I've ever seen any black 5-zips in the more common sizes make it to sale at any online retailer.

Yea, ebay had a black 48 sell for $700 I let go because it was summer, and a dude offered me $600 for a black 50 but scared it might not fit.
