Why is he selling it, I hear you ask. In a word, nylon !

Great collectable but not really a jacket to wear!
Meaning it, like many USN sheepskin jackets, could just fall apart?

Miles, this jacket never saw service, so it wasn't exposed to salt water conditions. It seems to have been stored well, and has stood up to some recent wear, so I think it's one of the exceptions.

Last we heard, even the matching trousers were going to be worn. :p
