Update: I got the jacket in the mail, and I'm about as sure as I can be that it's legit. The buttons are exactly the same as the buttons on the RRL jeans I have, and nothing looks out of place or sloppily constructed.

Overall it's a really nice jacket, but I'm less sure if the fit. This was listed as a medium, and I think I need more of a smedium for the fit I want. Might put it up in the B-S-T thread.

Post pics. The jacket looks pretty nice.

Here's the medium I received today...it actually fits me fairly snug in the body and cropped short...

I would say the leather is more a putty blue and soft (not stiff like some RRL leather jackets I have). I like it a lot...however...it is very very odoriferous/chemically smelling...I believe a strong smell of leather mixed with indigo...looking forward to seeing how this ages...I envision seeing myself wearing it a lot...

Looks very similar to the one "notwithit" was sent from India...however...as mentioned...this one fits snug and short...

sorry..just noticed one of my fly buttons became unbuttoned in between shots...these are my 3+ year old slim-straight rrl raws...the shank buttons have a hard time staying buttoned in their 3rd year...

LOL I can not take credit for that, I learned from an old guy on youtube who used a small basketball, I figured a leather football(us not footie)would work better.

I love this jacket. it's a very versatile and casual piece. I wear a 38S suit with an average build and I own a medium and it's a tad large but the small was a tad small..... therefore i can wear a thin sweater underneath or just wear it casually. Regardless, i would highly recommend it.

The sizing of the seasonal t-shirts is always hit and miss. I bought both of the souvenir t-shirts and the printed t-shirt from the summer collection. Two of the three fit great, while the third (the indigo tee with the naval trench art) was baggy and too long. Really irritating.
