I just received the Quai de Valmy jacket ordered from Yoox on Sunday. Took some crappy pics. The leather smells incredible, is very soft and light, unlined, suede inside. The fit is very good, so I'll keep it. I'm done with the leather jackets, I have 2 in blue and a couple of brown ones, from tan/snuff suede to dark brown.

^Pretty awesome but makes you look extremely skinny and the collar is super high; is it supposed to ride up like that?

It's hard to tell about the fit from those pics, you'll have to post a wider angle shot. The leather definitely looks better than the yoox pics (if on the thin side)

Sorry, I do not like posting fit pics. If I'll have the time, I'll take better pics outside. I was curios about the quality and craftsmanship in the Seraphin/Quai de Valmy jackets and I am overwhelmed. They are hard to find under 500USD and Yoox is a great place to discover (with a bit of research) new brands.

Is "snoobish brand" code for ugly? If so, I get it.

Just curious but what kind of hangers do you guys use for leather jackets? I use a regular wooden hanger but I had my W&H varsity with leather sleeves and it kind of contoured to the hangers rounded edges.
