I don't know much about Vacca but I pulled the trigger on this jacket because I really like the color. Anybody have any opinions on Vacca quality in general, his leather goods, the appearance of this jacket, and any views on how slim its going to fit - the measurements seem more like sport coat measurements rather than outerwear measurements.

Thanks http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=280067553625

I am confused!

Your remark indicates that you won the auction. However, the auction link indicates the auction concluded without any bids whatsoever. Maybe the safety was engaged when you pulled the trigger?

Without regard to my confusion, the suggested starting bid of $499.99 is in line with prices at Saks Off 5th or Neiman Marcus Last Call or Nordstrom Rack for their better suede garments of similar style.

Personally, I don't care for suede shirts. I don't see this as a jacket as much as it is an overshirt with some safari styling cues. A jacket should look like a jacket rather than a shirt in my opinion.
