[Roughwear]

Hahaha Vic. The seller paid over the odds for it and is now regretting it. It always pays to do your homework first!

[Roughwear]

Paul, it has the extra stitch line on the collar which is typical of Avirex.

Hi Roughwear,
Haha.. regrets on purchase for old jacket????
People have other better things to do. Life is a gamble. You come to this world with nothing and you die with nothing.

Welcome to VLJ cartelfmly. I hope you find our little forum informative.

I think many people come to this world with the benefit of being cherished by others. You hope you can leave that way too. I'd argue that's more valuable than most anything else.

Just goes to show that I still have a lot to learn regarding original A2s Andrew

 

[Roughwear]

Hahaha! Well at least you did not end buying it as an original Wartime A2!

 

[Marv]

Very funny cartelfmly and your point being.....? I'm looking forward to reading informative posts and constructive comments from you on the subject of leather jackets. I assume that is why you have joined VLJ. Perhaps you would like to introduce yourself in the biography section and tell about your interest in leather jackets.

Seller has now ended the listing.

This isn't Facebook. Go troll somewhere else.

To be fair I've seen worse-looking repros, many of them by Avirex! I'm assuming this is one of their earlier examples before they started all the map linings and bogus blood chits. I didn't know that about the collar stitching, I guess we're talking about the line around the inside? Shame about the fancy-assed windflap stud-although I do like the purple leather zip puller!

 

[Roughwear]

Yes, it's an early Avirex A2.

Cartelfmly,
Are you interested in collecting these jackets or just selling?
