Aston Waist-Length Shearling Jacket (For Men)

sizing is way off. cut much too small for aqmericanbuyers.

Great looking, expensive cut, should last for years

A beautiful jacket at a great price. However, I had to send the first one back because it was way smaller than the stated size. The 46 inch chest that I ordered was perfect (I take a 43 inch normally). On the positive side the leather is Aston's Krek, which is said to resist light rain and snow (I haven't had a chance to test it yet). A major negative is that it only has two side hand pockets, not a single inner pocket for valuables.

Use the jacket for evening walk in fall around this time of the year in California, too early to say anything about winter. 2 way zipper would have been a bettert idea than full length zipper - or the zipper could be 3-4 inches shorter, so that one could sit comfortably. Full length zipper makes the jacket a bit restrive around the hips. The Sleeves are way too long - should be at least 4 inches shorter - for comparison try the sleeves on a medium or even large size men's shirt or jacket. Even after folding the sleeves 6 inches, for me the slvees are still too long - I will have to get it altered or just cut off 6 inches to make it look better. Chelur Veeraraghavan, October 6, 2009.

I had to return this jacket because it was way too long. I wear a 42Short jacket, so the waist-length hits me mid-thigh. The pockets are at my hips, so I can't walk in the zipped jacket with full pockets. For someone who wears a 42Long jacket, this would be a beautiful coat for a great price.
