These pop up every so often.
Not a bad looking jacket, but they have a seam that runs across the front of the jacket, right about the cargo pockets.

I think they also sell this same jacket at Sportsmansguide.com.

Yeah, looks like the same coat. There's definitely a seam that runs across the front of the jacket. I think on Sportsmanguide these jackets were being sold as a 'concealed carry' jacket.

Yeah, here it is over at the Guide. Sure isn't inexpensive. They call it the Burk's Bay Brushed Napa Leather Jacket and it's almost $150. I think for that price a guy might want to get a Todd's.

Not too many years ago, the membership here would have been jumping all over that 'close enough' jacket.

Burksbay... Never heard of it. Any good? Hard to tell, but from their pictures, the fit of their jackets look pretty baggy. Their Indy-ish jacket looks pretty respectable though, and they have a couple nice looking stuff- I especially like the Retro Vintage Jacket.

And P.s., I'll just throw up the picture of the aforementioned Indy jacket to make it easier for everyone:

The pockets look better to me than the Extra Scalloped pockets that are offered now. I bought that "making of Raiders, Greatest stunts" video from 1981 and it had a lot of behind the scenes footage and some stuff in the Ravens Bar showed pockets much more like these.

I hope to transfer the video to DVD so I can take some screen caps, but I'm sure a lot of the guys here have that same video.
