My roommate bought a leather jacket from somewhere else around the same time I ordered this and when both arrived the quality difference was pretty noticeable. Mine has this weight and richness that hers didn't. The burgundy color is deep, the leather has a slight natural sheen, and the cropped cut is exactly right. I'm 5'4 and ordered a small and it fits great, just a tiny bit snug in the shoulders but nothing bad. The button front is different from the usual zipper and I love it. The chest pockets are functional and add a nice detail. I've worn this everywhere since it arrived and it holds up really well.
