Great piece of authentic racing gear. Purchased from the original owner, who told me he bought it around 1968 and wore it while racing in California.

All original, clean with nice patina. Chest and sleeve zips work great. The interior elastic band across the back is supple. Note the interior padding under the shoulders. The same interior padding is under the elbows.

Actual measurements:
Shoulders: 18”
Chest: 22”
Waist: 18.25”
Sleeve: 26” (28” curve)
Length from BOC: 24.5”

Price: $250.00 which includes CONUS shipping.
