This RP-Ward cross zip fits me fine but it's best for someone two size smaller. The flap chest pocket is a bit too high due to my build. Judging from many old photos of cross zips, those guys definitely sport it oversized.
You are right, I wanted the cord frame to have some overall symmetry on top and on both sides but given the short length overall, the top edge is right up the bust... hmm.
This is the Ralph Pugh Cross zip I posted before. After a complete restoration at Dena’s, we’ve discovered the old labels inside the lining and it’s a Ward! But, could still be contracted at RP. What’s interesting is this even-pebble cowhide used. We associate vintage and high end repro leather...
you mean you'd prefer to develop those awesome wrinkles yourself? :) for most people here, this is a highly desired state of wrinkling, so you should buy it.
Decided to part with this beauty. I’ll probably never find another one again. It’s distinctly European cut, slim arm and narrow front chest. For this style of punk rocker jacket I’ve decided to stick with Lewis.
other than the usual soiling of the lining, it’s in exceptional intact condition...
