Never heard of Ron Barton, seller has about 5 negs to his 38 sales, and it's not my style bike jacket. Oh well that was a few minutes wasted. But I'm not bitter haha.

Ah, sorry, amigo. I just meant it to be funny, not to waste your time. :D

I'd actually fit in it were it legit, but I wouldn't pay 1/8 of that price and neither should anyone with a working noggin.

Ron Barton was a British boxer who died in a car accident.

I'd be suspicious of this one too. I'm not sure even the lightest of boxers would need a jacket quite that small?

I call fake too! According to wiki, Ron Barton was a light-heavyweight, which is 168 pounds (76 kg) and up to 175 pounds (79 kg).
I fight at the same weight and i am 6'2" and wear a size 42 to 44. No way a pro boxer would fit in that size S!

How does a guy weighing 175 lbs with that musculature fit in that jacket?

Unless it was from his pre-boxing childhood!

Strange choice of a ting to fake, though..... unless the seller, if they are faking it, figured an obscure figure like that would be less questioned than a bigger name?

Ron Barton is still alive, and Langlitz keeps good records. Maybe someone could ask Mr. Barton or Langlitz?
