Today I thought I'd see if my original Martin Lane (1968) goatskin G1 fitted me yet. I've had to lose 18 lbs to get it this far, still a little snug around the waist but I've got another couple of inches to shed there before I'm finished [emoji5] Back to the jacket - the knits were totally shot...

Met my newest granddaughter (aprox 22 hours old at the time of writing ) - Ava - for the first time today. Decided to wear my beautiful Aero seal horsehide 38-1711-P A2 with rust knits for the occasion [emoji5] ...

+1 yes please, more info. I'm keeping my eye on these, I think there are a few originals around you can buy. I'm keeping my powder dry. Yours is a beauty, many congratulations, and wear it in good health!

Just looking at those photos, that 2nd edition jacket with the one top pocket is the one that really catches my eye...
