Thanks pbdb for all your measurements! Mine saiys "2010" on it but the season is 2011. It is a first batch runway quilted, like Megs and H_addict's jacket.

2011 in quilted came out in both black and anthracite.
Maybe meg got an anthracite quilted??
I know this because when I emailed Bal London , the SA informed me of the colors they still had 4 weeks ago in sz 34 quilted: black, grey (this must be the anthracite) and the two toned in red/black and grey blue/black.
I also saw a quilted vest in anthracite in a blog. It said, 2011.

(Now no more quilted in size 34 in black, grey , don't know about the two toned ones.)

Which fit do you like better? What season is your 40 black from Suzie?

So, these will have to do until the battery charges. It is a sz 34 and I can wear it perfectly unzipped. I can't really zip to save my life. Well, I can if I suck it in but it does not look good heehee. I love the leather on this beauty. All the quilteds that I have had in my hands had very smooth leather, like the leather on my '11 jackets. The one preowned with runway zips I had was light, soft, and fine wrinkles, like 07 leather. This one is different. It reminds me of 09 leather? http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/...June4_2012.jpg http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/..._close-up2.jpg http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/...s_close-up.jpg

Oh WOW WOW! You got an amazing jacket! Congrats!
Can we see some modelling pics, please?
Did you get this from Bal cannes?

So, you like the fit of the 34 better?

Her jacket didn't look stiff and painted, but really mushy and gorgeous.

There is a size 38 on the bay.

Interesting thought. I wonder if that is the case with Meg's jacket.
