Time to move this one along. Its from the contract DA-36-243-QM(CTM)2134 labeled size 40 and the measurements show as such. The hide has that great "been there done that" patina, but is still soft and strong. Zipper is fully operational with a NOS blackened Conmar slider. The knits, mouton and liner have all been expertly repaired/replaced by Steve Sellers with correct materials, making this a very solid original wearer from 1959.

Measurements are as follows
Shoulders 18.5"
Pit to pit 20"
Waist 19"
Back length from collar seam to end of knits 25"
Sleeve length to end of cuff 24"

$500 OBO plus shipping , prefer US sale

Wow that is nice. It looks great on you. You look about my size - what's your height and weight and chest?

Can we see under the collar?

Any smells?

To be clear, $500 is probably too dear for me right now, but I'll have a look at my budget.

I'm 5'10 165 lbs, i wear a 40 or 42 in G1's this one fits me OK with a T shirt. This jacket smells like every other jacket I have in my collection, nothing unusual.
