Help me find this leather jacket, please.

I saw this leather jacket (and scarf, although a friend swears it's a sweater) on Tumblr but sadly the original poster didn't cite the source and doesn't have an ask box so I cannot ask him/her directly:
I love this jacket and would like to see where it's from (and within my budget :)).
Will you help me find it, AskMeFi? Thank you!

(In general, if you want to send a question or comment to a tumblr with no ask box, just follow that blog with your own tumblr until you can send them a fanmail instead; there is no way for them to turn off fanmail on their own blog.)

Earliest use of this photo that I can find was in November 2011 here. They cite a tumblr, feminin, but couldn't find it there.

Ah, yep - here's the post on feminin's tumblr from October 29, 2011.
So it's probably best to try to find a comparable jacket out there....anything sold in 2011 is probably not available on the racks at this point.

Best answer: And...that linked to this, which links to the source.
That links to this address: http://afterdrk.freshnet.se/2011/10/21/20111021/
It doesn't resolve properly but here's the original blog with the original photos.
"First time of the year wearing last years gigantic scarf again, still loving the color and thickness. Goosecraft leather jacket, Uniqlo turtleneck, Topshop jeans, Alexander Wang shoes and Style by Marina scarf."

Lots of similar jackets on their website, but I don't see anything that is an exact match.

Based on this Pinterest post, it looks like person who knitted the scarves (maybe only some of them?) commented and said you can find more info on her scarves here. Maybe it was her photo and thus her jacket?
But you'd maybe have luck looking for an asymmetrical moto jacket, which are definitely trendy right now.
