Very rare Windward wool gabardine bomber jacket from 1940s or 50s. Jacket has real sheepskin shearling mouton collar! Jacket has warm red quilted lining, in good shape. Old Conmar zippers in excellent shape and still fully functional. Storm cuffs are a little ragged (see photos), and jacket has a very small tear above one of the handwarmer pockets, as well as a very small hole in the back upper shoulder (see photos). There is also some faint stains on the lower part of the jacket and sleeve (see photos), which would probably come out with a good dry-cleaning. All-in-all, not bad for a jacket around 60-70 years old. You won't see another like this one anywhere. The model is 5'7 and has a size 38 chest. The jacket Fits like a size 38, but see measurements:

Shoulder to shoulder: 18 1/2 inches
Across chest, from pit to pit: 20 1/2 inches
Sleeves, from shoulder to cuff: 24 inches
Length from back bottom of collar to hem: 24 inches

Shipping is:
$16 in Canada
$21 in USA
