An excellent jacket. Ralph Edwards was about the best from that period, IMO. BTW, your jacket is a 1966 C-series.

Yes, great jacket, and possibly even a little earlier ... fiscal year 1965 contract, so from late '64 on.

Bonjour,
Thank you all, for your prompt and accurate answer.
It was my 1st "big" auction on E-bay, so I am glad to know that it was a "right stuff". I am still amazed by the quality of the leather, or maybe it was stock in lockers for decades ? I will add photos soon.
Hope you guys had a great Xmas time !

Thanks again
