Somewhat in the "huh" category, two Retro to Go posts that may be of interest.

Leather Baracuta jackets: http://www.retrotogo.com/2009/03/baracuta-slimfit-g9-harrington-jacket-in-leather.html
I always regret not buying that Suede Baracuta I saw down on the Cape... $49 on sale in '89-ish...
The Orvis one is a very good look-a-like though.
I've seen APC do a leather baseball jacket, and while unorthodox fabric for that type of jacket, it was actually pretty cool when you put it on.
still, 350 GBP for a leather G9 isnt anywhere near the top of my shopping priority
