Wow did this one just sell for $500? That's a lot of money for the condition it's in.

Love that jacket and the front pocket design. Only seen it in books, and that Reed version of the jacket that someone here bought. I dig it. Too many issues for me at that price, but I dig it.

Did Kit sell jackets for dudes my size?!?

Just got an unsolicited offer of $63 for this Lakeland Big Teton I'd looked at a couple times. Listed at $90 + shipping. 23.5" pit to pit. Needs a button (or two) replaced, and has some light marks. Still, pretty cool. Seller says original owner was one of the Quiet Birdmen, which we're not supposed to know anything about, so forget I mentioned it. Too similar to my Schott Rancher for me to consider picking it up.

Also got an unsolicited offer of $89 for this, listed at $99 + shipping. Missing belt and lining. 23" pit to pit. Gosh, my funds must be low.

This is such a nice package. I doubt I have the financial courage to buy it, too many HD collectors out there.

I found the jacket with a similar color quilted lining in an old video of mine on youtube. It is Sears Fieldmaster jacket by Appalachian from the early 60s. I doubt any connection. I've seen it on other jackets from the 50s, but not often. It does add a bit of glow to the jacket! The labels are all there too!

Nicest by far. There are some nice looking Nelco jackets out there.
