"FLYING TIGERS" LEATHER JACKET By LL BEAN!

NOTE: This is the OLD SCHOOL version--Made in the USA and Properly Sized!

This is absolutely wonderful--and becoming increasingly rare! To be sure, Bean still sell Flying Tigers jackets, and they're still getting great reviews, but the current version is "Imported" rather than Made in the USA, and comes in S, M, L and so on, rather than being properly sized. This is one of the Old School jackets--Made in the USA and properly sized. PLUS, the back of this jacket is made from ONE PIECE of goatskin, unlike many other jackets (including some current FT's) that are multiple-piece backs.

Designed after the jackets worn by WWII pilots, this "Flying Tigers" jacket was Made in the USA. The leather is supple, soft goatskin, which will remain supple even in sub-zero temperatures. The jacket has a thinsulate lining for warmth, storm cuffs, and fully functional collar snaps. It also features two front patch pockets with snap flaps. It has a single interior pocket. The zip is strong, sturdy, and moves fluidly.

This jacket is in excellent condition, the sole flaw being a circular mark on one pocket--possibly from a tin stored inside? This will give you decades of warm, stylish wear!

Sized a generous 40L, this could also work for a 42.

Asking just $115 > 110 > 105, boxed, shipped, and insured in CONUS. OFFERS ARE VERY WELCOME, as are International inquiries.

If you'd like a Flying Tigers jacket, grab this if it's your size--you're unlikely to see another at this price!

Please PM with interest and offers![/B
