Hi All,
Wanted to share my latest pick up with the Forum members. Today, I stumbled upon a jacket which turns out to be my first issue WEP. Besides being in great shape what is most unusual about this jacket is that it comes from the family of the 1975 Skipper of the USS John F. Kennedy. Check it out!
After spending some time fooling around the zipper and then giving it a good working over I finally got it to come around. Overall, I'm pleased with this jacket's condition. It is clean enough & there are only a few moth nips here and there to the collar. The cuffs look to be pristine. Being a size 44 I could not ask for a better fit! Maybe at one time or another these WEP jackets came in a shorter length but this jacket's body length (25.00") does not bother me. As a matter of fact when worn it feels exceedingly comfortable.
I'm pleased with my new arrival and happy to be adding it to my collection!
