The Smaller than me man wins yet again!!!!!!!!!!!! Cool true vintage. Really small size it appears. Pretty small price as well...........
Nice. I was looking to get into the action on that one as well but I valued it much lower than everyone else apparently. Lol...... my cheapskate gene was kicking in I guess......
I've got one now and I have had 2 others that were too small back when I first started buying jackets. I originally bought a 42 Black CR. Awesome jacket. But it was too small for my liking so I sold it. I then picked up another 42 at a local consignment store that seemed to fit better but really, it was only because it didn't have a liner. I was too stupid to realize the difference in fit from the zip in liner. Those liners are lame and barely utilitarian anyway IMO.
A few years later, I snagged a size 44 brown CR with the liner. It fits pretty good but I always am on the lookout for a 46 and I want to get another black one. The brown is cool and versatile. But Black is B L A C K and I just love the look of these in black.
That one you got is extra interesting because of the Shirt Collar. It has the 2 way zipper----I really like the 2 way but maybe it's just me. Missing the liner which is no loss at all in my book. Hopefully, you can get that zipper imprint off the front lower left side and there are not others on this jacket. I have bought from that Seller a couple of times and most of his stuff is pretty clean. Not like some of the bale finds that are wrinkled like raisins. I think it'll clean up really well.
I am interested to see how you like this one. I expected it to go in the $150-$175 range but it looks like it had a lot of interest. Cool get. Congrats. Please post your follow up report if you can. These are oddly underrated jackets for having such a high coolness factor.
that's a nice looking one. Nice shade of brown too. Kind of reminds me of the last one I bought (mine was black teacore), but this one looks in better shape overall on the shell. I had a lot of problems with my stitches though as they pretty much rotted after 60 or 70 years of whatever was going on with the previous owner. Cal did a lot of restitching for me around the sleeve/armpit connection point and along the wrists and reinforcing wrist zippers.
That is a Score or a Shields made for Frank's.
) and though the brands are foreign to most of us, there is some awesome Canadian vintage leather out there. I dig the Lightning (Talon) zippers. Talon design on the parts that matter and a cool oval Lightning pull instead of the familiar rectangular Talon down in the U.S. That whole Talon/Lightning story is interesting.
