$995.00, Best Offer or Trade

According to Bennie Goodson at Langlitz Leathers:
You’re buying a Langlitz Leathers, Columbia Model. This is a VERY UNIQUE, 1-of-1 jacket ordered with: straight front zipper, fold down collar, open pockets, deleted adjustable body laces, and made of brown cowhide leather in the mid-to-late 1960's.

I'll consider a trade for a Thurston Bros., Buco, Bates or Vanson jacket in size 42.

Size 38ish: Please see below measurements.

MEASUREMENTS: (exterior while laying flat)
