Simply my most complimented clothing item ever. I love the colour and the contrasting ribbing (I had no choice as there was no burgundy ribbing), and it's very versatile, looks great with pretty much any jeans/trousers I have: black and grey jeans, light wash jeans, khaki chinos... I particularly love the pseudo-pagoda shoulders and how the sleeves crease/stack.
Leather is decently thick, considering it's lamb. I usually prefer thicker leathers but it's not an option in ribbed jackets. The leather is completely uniform (no "veins") and I'm not an expert but I guess this is an indicator of corrected leather rather than full grain. It's held up well in the rain etc., gradually losing some kind of coating it has when new, and softening considerably. I've started noticing some fading/discoloration lately, in the rear part of the sleeves, here's a close-up:
I'm sure the leather will keep looking great over the years.
As for fit, I got a stock size 49, as I'm often between a 48 and a 50. It turned out great. If I were to reorder again I'd probably slim the mid section a bit (just a bit, since this is a bomber and thus not meant to fit super closely in the torso). I got some room for layering but it looks great with just a t-shirt as well.
