I received my jacket today first impressions seems well made with soft leather. I'm impressed with the jacket in whole. The jacket does have the zipper pull on the left side but being a lefty that's ok and after a bit of research it appears jackets made in Europe have a left side pull and as this is a reproduction of a RAF flight jacket it's on the left for accuracy i would guess. If there is any problems in wear I'll update the post. UPDATE I only wore the jacket a few times seemed ok and very warm but on a chilly day I put my hand in the pocket and it ripped wide open like paper the leather is only about 1/32 of an inch thick very disappointed.Its a nice collor good size perfectBeatiful jacket and good quality...
