Excuse the saggy looking pockets- I had my key and mobile phones in them at the time!

Looking good! It has got some nice character! 
Did it shrink after being in the washing machine?

A little - but that was part of the plan as I thought the sleeves were a little too long before

Ok, your plan worked out very well then since it seems to fit like a glove!

Thanks It's a bit longer in the body than my old Wested - which I always thought was too short for a SA look.

(I saw your name first and thought "it can't be", one of the robbers from "Ronja Robber's daughter".) And then I saw you're from Sweden!
I'll go look for some of your other posts now.
And, a bit late perhaps; Välkommen ombord till galenskaperna!
(Welcome aboard to the madness)
DJD;
Cool distress job! Looks very natural!

Is it just the way you're wearing it or does the right sleeve seem a little shorter than the left? I've heard that cowhide can shrink in unpredictable ways is why I'm asking.

Yeah I've seen several jackets that looks to short. For me a SA look is that the jacket ends somewhere near the back pockets of your pants (and I'm pretty sure Harrison wears his pant with a low waist) or that the jacket arms are about 2" longer than the body when you wear it. Your jacket looks like a SA fit to me!djd wrote:Thanks

And in case anyone is wondering (if now peeps outside Sweden has any clue about what we are talking about), I'm not mute like Labbas in Ronia the robber's daughter.. I can talk but I probably have the same body mass as the guy who played him in the movie.

I measured the sleeves last night and they are still of equal length

If I hadn't yet, this pushes me over the edge to get a Todd jacket.
