And finally fit on me haha rayon although original untouched grey green under the collar has faded to a dirty gold over the years, I was reluctant to take such a old rayon jacket to the cleaners
Another one I've had for a while, outer shell rayon, lining, quilted red satin, khaki painted talon zipper slider, knits are real rough worsted wool, mouton collar maker I've never heard of, very nice jacket though, and a good fit, knits are different shades of khaki, was found in a vintage bale...
Seb found another like mine has the label mine is missing, yep genuine goatskin, that clears that question up

Hi Seb, better sellers, yeah I don't figure and yes! Exactly the same as mine, the shipping and USA import fees would kill it for me, I was lucky with this as the UK vintage seller used to import jackets from the USA
Hi Seb I'd agree it's a early and closer to the real thing, I haven't seen many this close not to handle and not for sale anyway, some of the newer ones with the map escape liners are complete Frankenstein's,
Thanks, definitely has that look, it doesn't say what skin, all it has is a R.Sherman, deliver to us or mail cleaning label but if I had to guess, I'd say goat it only has two labels, the small black avirex label and Sherman cleaning label, worth the £50 it cost me.
Me also but I know they made a authentic or semi authentic batch early days, I really haven't seen another avirex like this, especially with the small label and those features, maybe the more knowledgeable can
