Fit is great, but it looks like the cuffs are backwards.

Here's mine after some wear.

So, missed an internal pocket and cuffs are mounted on backwards? ?

So, they are saying that it comes with no pocket and the upcharge was to add a pocket, not a second pocket. I'm fine with that.

The cuffs have everyone scratching their heads though as that was a major f-up. They are sending me a return label and will expedite the repair. Dave has been foraging in the forest for mushrooms, maybe he picked the wrong ones? Anyway, it is a bit disappointing to send it back after waiting so long but I obviously want it right.

Better you found out this way than after 6 months wearing it. Glad to see they're taking care of you. I've heard of other companies making up random excuses for their errors.

Dave is a good guy and I trust him to take care of me. He stands behind his products.

What leather jacket brands use sterling silver hardware? I know Collateral Concepts (rip) used to, Chrome Hearts, are there any others? Always thought that was a cool detail on clothing.

MA+, probably Carpe Diem (rip even longer ago). Some ierib jackets have silver hardware too.
