not a fan of the velcro, good color though Want some opinions on this. I think I like it (not sure if I'd buy/wear it), but I also feel like I've been rather uncritical lately.

randomkoreandude > color is nice, but hard to wear - if you have a very large wardrobe with all basics covered then consider these (but without velcro). Just my thought

nn, its nice, obviously redundant but if you're planning selling your stooges (which I prefer on you, obviously I'm biased) it would be a good cop.. The body length doesn't bother me, but the sleeves are shorter than I'd like...

The thing that sells me is the leather quality
They used the same object dyed German calf leather that backlash jackets use (the best I've handled other than poell stuff and guidi baby calf) but while I could never find a backlash jacket that fit right, and I'm not too sold on the brand as whole, this fits perfect except maybe an inch too long in the front. The sleeves are longer than the photos suggest, but not too long
