The leather in this jacket is beautiful, but I had some trouble with the zipper. It was hard to get the zipper all of the way in so I had to pull hard. Eventually the zipper tore away from the jacket. I took it to a tailor and he pointed out that the zipper had been sewed so close to the jacket that there was not enough clearance. He resewed it with more clearance, and now it works fine. Even with the few dollars for the tailor, it was still a good bargain buying this jacket after Christmas.
