This jacket arrived within 1 week of purchase. It is exactly what I expected. The leather is soft and supple and really looks very expensive. I read the reviews before I purchased this jacket and debated buying the next larger size. I decided not to do this and purchased the XL. The fit is perfect with enough room to wear a sweater underneath. The jacket even has a cell phone pocket and a zippered pocket, perfect to hold my wallet and / or keys. I am extremely happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone for their own use or to purchase as a gift.
