Just came across this one that's currently up for grabs...Now *THIS* is my kind of jacket!!!!
Looks like it's had thousands and thousands of hours of wear time.
Please could anyone fill in some details?
What type of zipper has been used to replace the original? What jacket or garment was this zipper recycled from?
Also note the '800' that has been painted as well, what is the significance of this marking?
Thirdly, how do you even thrash a jacket this hard?!?! Look at the patina on those sleeves though, that's heaven! I mean, now there's a piece of flight gear...
When the chrome tanning flakes off like this to show the bare sheepskin colour, it really adds some unique 'pop' effect against the dark panels. A look that only originals bring out the best in IMHO.
