The sleeves where a wee bit too long but that can be easily fixed at home, the coat is also a bit longer overall than spike's was, not sure if I am gonna fix it or leave it, I'm gonna see what a tailor would charge for taking a few inches of the bottom first.
Also I had to re-crease the lapels so they'd be smaller but another small issue, the lapels on spike's coat are also not very tidy since his has been really broken in but it's clear the real coat was originally creased in the same way this coat was when I got it, so thats really good for authenticity.
There's also a difference in the sewing lines on the sleeves, they go on the back instead of on top and are more clear, also the ones on the chest are somewhat different, oh well.
As for the quality of the leather, wow, really soft, all thats left now is to break it in, I mean it doesn't look like Spike's coat because his is all worn in like heck, this one is new and the leather is still where it's been sown and the way it's been packaged, it hasn't even had time to hang out yet.
Cost me $200, which I guess is not bad for a spanking new lambskin coat.
Also, the belt, forgot that, you can wear or not, Spike did both in the show:
Oh and bonus pic, the 3/4 coat I got of ebay last autumn, looks like angel's coat:
Oooh, nice. I prefer to make my own, but that's a lovely coat indeed.
