I normally do not like center seams on motorcycle jackets, but I have a C2 in comp weight and it fits me so well, I couldn't care less about the center seam on it.

Whilst performing my daily search, I happen to stumble upon what appears to be a desirable looking leather jacket toward which, I am of the opinion, someone might develop an interest henceforth I am sharing the link through which the possibility of acquirement of this jacket can manifest itself as reality.

I think it is possible to replace the pull, it is the slider that needs to match the teeth.THIS is something only we zipper nerds would seize on---but HOW in the hell are they using a #10 Talon pull on what appears to be a Crown/C&C track!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!? We MUST be misidentifying this track right!?!!?!?!? I always understood it was impossible to mix pulls with other brands tracks---especially a Crown. They were so different from other tracks...... I know that --sadly---you can't just slap a Vintage Talon Pull on a YKK track. Would be so easy to fix vintage jackets if that were the case. The main zipper replacement is the Grandmommy of all general maintenance repairs second only to the Granddaddy--the Full Jacket Re-line. Many a fix could be accomplished if it were possible to effectively mix and match pulls. Especially a YKK with a Talon pull.
CALLING ALL ZIPPER NERDS/SNOBS---please give this Cal a look and decipher what you see as to the main zip combo. What is going on there???? Maybe it's just a Talon all the way around but I agree with Yellow, it appears to be a Crown track with a Talon pull. Is my zipper nerd world about to change forever today????????????

Alright, since y'all are doing I don't even know what, I'd like to buy that Cal! So! Could anyone be kind enough to help me out with getting it over from the UK? Dude is shipping thru UPS and that's a huge no for me so if anyone'd be willing to buy the jacket - Or I can buy it & have it shipped to you - and send it to me thru regular mail, I'd be much obliged.
Also take this as an incentive to hit BIN before someone agrees to help me out. If you do, no hard feelings.

One size
One size smaller and I would have sent an offer. But even at a cheaper price, there would be at least %30 tax (VAT+customs, etc...) to ship to my country. Just unacceptable.

If it's helpful for this jacket to pick up a lot of frequent flyer miles with a side trip to Philadelphia on its way to you, I'll volunteer. I've bought jackets on eBay from the UK and although it's not always fast (especially if they hand off to the USPS for the last mile), it does arrive. I'd imagine this would be highly inefficient but efficiency isn't always a concern when you want something.

@Monitor I'll help you out if you want. But like Moontanning mentioned, probably not the most economic or time efficient way to send to US to send back to Europe. Currency conversion bank charges, etc. But if you're desperate and willing (my moto for a lot of things btw), let me know.

Doesn't say how old, only Vintage, but this could be a great find and deal. Worth your time to dig some and get the age if you in the 38-40 range.

@Moontanning , @TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead haha, thanks for the offer but yeah, that'd really complicate things even further, not to mention shipping expenses. But I'll keep y'all in mind for my US purchases.
@TMP , already talking to another member but I really appreciate the offer. Cheers.

I can’t do a 20” P2P but like this size 38-40 Mister Freedom Campus. I’m looking forward to snagging a nice natural jacket one day.

Just made this mock up jacket, inspired by a 40s Monarch I had, French seams everywhere and a unique one piece collar design. Notable is the size of this project, the co-worker/customer is a tiny Japanese girl. The picture doesn’t show but it beyond petit. some details are quite hard to maneuver due to the size.

Nicely priced model E in comp weight with great patina. Size 42, so too big for me, otherwise it would be mine already.

Not a great deal, but this would be the ultimate cross-zip for me
