The jacket you’re wearing in the pic sure looks like this Golden Bear exact same pocket flap.

I realized I’m wrong about this back zipper. It does open up into a large area in the back but there’s a cloth lining sewn in between the diamond quilted nylon liner, same cloth lining used in the other pockets.
it’s just that it makes for quite a large pocket. It’s sewn into these back seams...
way outta my price range

Main zipper
map pocket zipper..
sleeves
the zipper in the back fold isn’t really a pocket, just opens up into the back panel between leather & liner.
Sleeves also very short at 23”. I think a portion of it has been folded tucked in to shorten it. The sleeve lining tends to hang out past...
This Appalachian I picked up earlier is in remarkably good condition. Leather has some color fade but that just enhances the patina and character, no rips, tears or holes. The lining is also great with very little wear, no rips, tears or holes here either. The only weak link in my opinion is the...
Que bueno mi amigo., Having grown up in a small AZ border town I can somewhat relate. Most all my buddies were either Mexican American or Native American. I consider myself most fortunate to have been raised and immersed in such a mixed culture environment. Never could pick up the Tohono O’dham...

Didn’t take you long to pick up on the Texas/Tejas lingo there @JMax. Or did you acquire this phraseology at the new American Legion you visited last week
I had this McGregor in my watch list, almost went for it myself but had the Wind Cheater and a Sears knit/suede already coming so I passed. McGregor labels are some of the best. I’m a sucker for those cool vintage Art Deco labels.
I think the lining is actually in pretty good shape, just a little worried about the shoulder areas. Like you said tho these early ones are great to have and admire in condition of wear.
I’ll post some pics and let you know once it lands in Buckeye, AZ
Amen!!
Anybody who hasn’t had the opportunity of raising teenage daughters has been cheated out of the full experience of parenthood heaven and hell. Having raised 3 I know and that’s where closet space went for so many years.
Having been married 40 years now I did bite my tongue. The younger...
