This is a cool jacket with an interesting story. It is from 1983. It was made by Avirex in the USA, to the official WWII specs for a promotion with AC-Delco, in conjunction with the movie "The Right Stuff". The only way this jacket differs is it has a bright orange X1 emblem embroidered on one pocket.
Here is the original ad for this promotion:
The jacket is tagged 42. Fits slim, I think it'd be better for a 40. Measures approx.:
19" shoulder seam to seam
21.5" pit to pit
24" shoulder seam to end of sleeve
The leather on the jacket is in great shape, esp. when considering it is 27~ years old. Lining is great, no rips / tears. Cuffs / trim have some pilling. Leather is super soft, great quality. Retailed for $135 in 1983, which is $287~ today.
I am asking $125 shipped in the USA via paypal personal payment or add 3%. Please PM me with any questions.
