Beautiful and well made jacket!

The jacket is warm, very well made and lightweight for a quality leather jacket. My sales associate, Brooke in the Breckenridge Colorado location went above and beyond ordering the jacket for me since my size want available in store.

High end quality; watch the sizing and the one design flaw

James Buffed (USA) is oddly sized in comparison to Romano leather (USA), Roy sheepskin (Turkey), and High Country sheepskin (Turkey) coats from Overland that I also tried .. you can read reviews from me for all these coats at their separate web pages .. size 44 fit me fine in all but the James Buffed for my 5' 10" and 180# and 43" chest American male large body .. all basically had 50" or 51" chest actual garment dimensions adequate for shoulder movement and flexing, but had to end up with size 42 James Buffed to get a 51" actual garment chest that fit me .. so watch the James Buffed sizing and make inquiries with Overland chat before you buy .. from my experience, all of Overland's USA made coats are superior in construction quality and design to their Turkish products .. only issue with James Buffed is that removing the zipped in shearling collar completely removes the coat front two way zipper system and you are left with only the flap snaps for closing off the coat front with no shearling collar .. this is a clumsy design .. the removable shearling could just as easily been held in place by a zipper only around the neck and not down the entire coat front, thereby leaving the two way front zipper intact with the shearling collar removed .. other than this annoyance, it is a high end top quality jacket .. I kept both the James Buffed and the Romano and returned the Roy and High Country coats ..

Needs different shearling warming collar removal method

Overall, quite a nice coat .. very well made and obviously high quality .. James Buffed does run oversized in comparison to the Romano leather jacket and the Roy sheepskin coat that I also tried and that fit me well in size 44 .. I am 5' 10" tall and 180 # with 43" natural chest, pretty much standard American male large with no real gut .. i typically do best with coats with a 50" actual garment dimension chest measurement to give me adequate flexing movement across the back and shoulders and around the chest .. coats that run 49" actual chest garment measurement can often work if there is a shoulder flare in the coat behind the shoulder, but smaller than that in the chest are always too tight .. James Buffed coat size 38 has 49" actual chest garment, size, 40 is 51" and size 42 is 53" .. I had thought that the size 40 and 51" chest would be best, but this particular coat is a full length body coat that is more akin to an overcoat length .. the leather on the James Buffed is really high quality somewhat thinner leather than either the Romero or the Roy and the cut down the body length of the James Buffed is more snug to the body and the size 40 with 51" chest had a 48" measurement around the hips .. I found that my 47" actual hip measurement was fit too snugly by the 48" hip garment sizing on the size 40 James Buffed .. result of this snug fit was that, even with the 51" chest, the drape of the coat sort of bound up along the small of my back and the coat puckered in the small of my back and did not drape cleanly .. going up in size to a 42 with its 53" actual chest garment size and 50" hip garment size gave me much better drape down the entire body and also had plenty of room in chest and shoulders for flexing and layering .. big design flaw I found was that removing the shearling collar removes the entire front zipper assembly also and then the only way to close the coat front was with the snaps .. this is a design flaw that needs fixing , hence only 4 stars.

Excellent soft leather, great look, some improvements needed

From look and fit my dream jacket. Very soft leather. Everyone asks me where I got the jacket. However, after a while I saw some problems. The major one were the zippers. It is not easy to zip the main zipper; I think it should be bigger to allow easy zipping. Often it takes a while to zip. Once I could not unzip, and then the little zipper that holds the faux fur inlet broke for no obvious reason and I need to send the jacket back. And for whatever obscure reason, the jacket has no hanger. Of course, one would hang up such a jacket on a coat hanger at home, but sometimes there is no other option (cloakroom in restaurant or theater). Finally, the outside pocket where one would keep one's gloves or a hat cannot be closed. I already lost a hat because of that. I think there should be a snap fastener (looks better than a zipper) like the many ones on the jacket to prevent things from falling out. But still a fantastic piece of clothing!

I love this jacket

I was in Jackson, WY right before Labor Day, it was raining and there wasn't much to do. I walked into the store and this was the first thing I noticed. I tried it and it felt fabulous and I looked even better. Then I looked at the sleeve for the price. I had never spent anywhere near that for a jacket or even a topcoat. I came back home and debated for 2 months whether to get it. Would I wear it enough? Finally I decided to treat myself and I'm so glad I did. I get compliments whenever I put it on.

Luxurious Leather

The James jacket is very well made, with no visible imperfections and what feels like superior materials. It is very warm when fully zipped with the bib liner in place. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Beautiful and lightweight.

The jacket is beautiful. The photos here do not due it justice. The zip in collar gives you warmth when you need it but taken out it's just as gorgeous. Have both colors and leave the collar in for one and out for the other.

Great Experience

I was greeted by Dan shortly after walking in the store (Jackson Hole) and kicked off a great experience. He was very pleasant and spent time to explain a bit about the jackets I was looking at. He was able to work with me in determining what the differences were in the jackets, which helped me make an informed decision on my eventual purchase. The jacket itself is awesome and worth every cent that I paid for it. I'll be sure to pass along the name of the store (and Dan) for any of my friends that may travel to the area.
