That’s a beauty Chris .. you’re fortunate to have found one . The original maker “Johnny Boy”
was part of this forum for a number of years . He made a small number of these great jackets. Sadly he gave up making these jackets and left the forum after a series of questionable events took place that impacted his business and caused him to give up the craft His departure was a loss to most here at the time. .
