: : : 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!

: : : Fall Guy

: :
: : I've been watching your plight, along with the others in the same boat, in silence as I knew that once your jacket was in your hands, all would be revealed. I'm happy to see that it has. Congratulations, and enjoy! Regards. Michaelson

: Thank you, Michaelson! It sure was worth getting some grey hair
: and with Patterson's latest news regarding a more streamlined
: production, things should go more smoothly in the near future.
: I'm already wondering if I should get a 'Raiders' next...
