Howdy, folks,

I've got a Flat Head cross-zip in like-new condition that I've decided to sell rather than wear it myself and mar it up before ultimately selling. Please note that I've also posted this on ebay, grailed, and the IH forum. Seeking $1400 (PayPal FF, with insured shipping in the continental US included).

As I mentioned, this mind as well be new. The leather is still stiff and completely unmarked, with no signs of wear, odors, etc. To me, the best thing about this jacket is the fit. I've owned many Flat Head jackets over the years and have settled on size 44 being my size. However, at 6'1.5", I have always found the sleeves to be not quite long enough. That's not the case with this jacket. With the wide shoulders and 25.25-inch straight-measured sleeve length, this is perfect for the taller gentleman. As much as I like this jacket, I already have an RMC J-22 and Lost Worlds J-24 (and I'm considering moving one of those along, too).

This fits like a size 44 in Flat Head's other lines. The measurements are as follows (but also see the photos):
  • Pit to pit: 22.25 inches
  • Sleeve length (straight down from shoulder seam to cuff): 25.25 inches
  • Hem opening: 21 inches
  • Shoulder width: 20 inches
  • Back length (from collar seam to hem): 26.5 inches
