I got a calfskin jacket in Dubai three years ago.
Last winter I was taking the name patch off to go undercover and the jacket ripped - about a 5 inch tear in the calfskin.
I tried to ship it back to Anil to fix it and was basically told I have to bring it to him, or get a friend to. Shipping the jacket back to him could cause customs problems.
That said, I loved the jacket. It's custom fit.
