FS: Vintage 80's Chevignon A2 XXL

Messages

Just wanna say again, these late 80's Chevignon jackets are seriously as good as any we talk about here. Incredible make, hide, everything. I've seen one that was made with the most beautiful hide I've ever seen. Seriously unlike anything I've ever handled. Extremely heavy too. 8lbs or more. The details were all spot on; diamond chain pulls, etc. RMC couldn't have done a better job. Someone invested a lot of love into 'em.

The only drawback is that they are a bit 80's, exaggerated shoulders and all but stuff goes in and out of fashion all the time so...

Whenever I'm not sure about the 80's vibe, I look at this photo and am suddenly feeling embarrassed for ever wearing any of my skinny CR's. :D

PM me your best price. I may weaken.

In case you've no experience with this brand before, I can confirm that these are top quality jackets. At least their premium line. The CPD one that I've had was as good as any we discuss here. The hide was some of the most beautiful I've ever seen. Parting with it was extremely hard even tho the jacket was literally 10 sizes too large...

Thanks. I do have experience. I have two hesitations, or I'd have jumped on it. One is the 80s style
and the other is that silly tag. It's now the classic middle-aged French dad jacket, but it's very nice.

I had another Chevignon a couple of years ago. I gave it to my brother because it fit him better.

Excellent quality.
