You just don't see these every day.....
I recently acquired this absolute stunner of an original Aero Highwayman jacket.
Purchased by the original owner (who I acquired it from) around 1980 from a shop in Taunton UK.
It's been well-worn over those 40 or so years & has developed a wonderful character that can only be generated through time & wear.
The jacket is Black, with brown undertones appearing in many spots.
It is a size 40 (fits closer to a 42, which has always been true for the generous Highwayman cut).
The lining is original & is actually in a superb condition, especially for it's age. There are only 2 extremely small spots that could do with a very light darn.
It has elastic cuffs at the wrist, which again are in an excellent condition.
I'm only passing this one on as it's really a good inch too short for me in the body and sleeves - a shame really....
Zips are all original and appear to me to be a very good working order.
It's not perfect, but it's a bloody good condition & honest Aero Highwayman from way back when.
Price is USD $500 - which INCLUDES international shipping, tracking and insurance to your door.
Size; 40
P2P; 24"
Sleeves; 25.5" around the curve
Shoulder; 19"
Back; 25"
Here are many, many pic's, taken in shade, direct sun & inside for full transparancy.
Let me know if you have any questions.
