It's unusual to see the first Perry contract (goat) in a size 44. It looks in good order, but the photos could be better and more plentiful. I wonder whether it was obtained from a USAAF crewman in the War?

Great jacket! I wonder where the Indian head art is on the jacket.
I agree, that some better pictures would be helpful. But the jacket
looks to be in great shape!

Thanks for the translation David. I am curious to know where the seller got the information about the size of this Perry contract. Shame they aren't still $8.15! :lol:
