This model was my second CoR jacket purchase, imnmediately after buying the other CoR J-100 design (also horsehide, albeit with only the outer chest zip-pockets). I was so instantly blown away by that one, I bought this one because I was intrigued by its uncoated nature, that I had to have it. Jim, CoR's awesome Customer Service Ambassador, made certain that mine came from the same maker as my other J-100, and fit, quality, i.e., stitching, paneling, hide consistency, etc., are all perfectly on-point. I can't say enough positive things about CoR and Jim. Thank you, CoR Team!
