: Yes, it's all true! I mean the good stuff about the jacket. I'm
: wearing it as I write this.
:
: First things first. I received exactly what I ordered. All my
: requests were honored. This is an undistressed lambskin LC version
: with the cotton lining. It has a zippered interior pocket on the
: left and leather facings on the inside of the collar as well as
: on both sides of the zipper. Even the snaps are there.

: Fit and finish are absolutely exceptional! The jacket is made
: extremely well. Every stich is in the right spot! It is very
: obvious that this jacket was not bought off the rack, but
: custom-made.

: I gave my measurements to Peter and the little tag says it's a size
: 46 (British). Since I added an inch to my shoulder width, I can
: wear a thin sweater under the jacket. The color is a very nice
: and dark chocolate brown. The jacket smells great!. it also seems
: to have been pretreated with a conditioner (the famous Letap?).

: Gregg, you were asking about pocket dimensions. The interior pocket
: is 18cmx14cm/7.25"x6.25", exterior pockets are 18cmx16cm/7.25"x6.5".
: The handwarmer pockets are useable, although I don't have small
: hands.

: Upon arrival I had to pay a customs fee of US$ 17.15. It seems that
: the package was shipped on June 20. That suggests it took 7 days
: from London to San Francisco via Parcel Force Worldwide. Of course
: my jacket had gone on a little side trip to Canada before!

: Did I mention that a certificate stating authenticity comes with
: the jacket? It is signed by Mr Botwright himself...

: Was it worth the wait? Absolutely. I will do it again! Just make
: sure you know when and how it is sent. For your piece of mind get
: the TRACKING NUMBER!

: Last thing: Thanks to all those people who have volunteered so
: much information on the jacket. You are commended!
