another completely original cable. no reseView attachment 141085View attachment 141087View attachment 141089View attachment 141091View attachment 141093View attachment 141083arch done on the name written on the liner. it is tagged a size 40, but fits as a 42. the embroidered chenille patch is for the 39th fs, 5th af, aka "the cobra squadron".

Another gem of an original and in quite a wearable condition, judging by the pictures. Awesome jacket, Vic!

Here's a well worn original that took a bit of research to pin down without its lining and label. I figured it was a Cable by the collar and narrow pocket stich but the ball studs threw me along with the crudely sewn in

along replacement zip. But turns out Cable used a combo of ring and ball snaps. And this being goat its likely a Cable 42-10008-P. The leathers real soft and solid and I like the rust color Aero style knits.

This is a great looking jacket but the photos are a little dark and don’t really do it justice. The photo of the Russett collar and shoulder tell the real story .
If you still own it please consider an outdoor fit pic in the sun light . Thanks for posting .

WAw these are three OUTSTANDING BRAIN STOPING A-2! the details! the more I look the more ideas I get! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! All jackets! Also, it's my first seeing an octagonal patch. Very interesting!

If the jacket is goat, it could be a Cable 23382? I do have an ELC 23382 goat "caramel colored"",
which I bought from HPA circa 2000, me thinks.
I'm aware ELC has produced a later version utilizing HH.

Cheers,

I don't ask for anything on this jacket. I'm just the guardian of this jacket. I know I'm not worthy.
