that's a really great jacket … If they make them small enough (I doubt it) I would probably buy one at that price.

Diamond Dave...a member on the VintageLeatherJacket forum makes these jackets. I think this is his first test jacket in this style. He has been making WW2 crusher style caps for years..and has branched out into producing jackets.

Nice. Even skint as I am I'd be tempted to jump on that test jacket if it was just a *little* smaller. I could wear that one with a heavy sweater, but for that kind of layering I prefer a shearling or a longer overcoat. Seems like a L in their range would be ideal for me. Being on full production and a weak dollar! ;-)

Killer.

It should be here any day now. I would have preferred a dark forest green or navy blue, but I think I got it at a good price considering he's going to eventually sell them for $700. Diamond Dave sent me a pic of the original ad of the jkt this one was based on (hope he doesn't mind me sharing it here):

There seems to be some squabble between buyer and seller - please work this out privately.
