I'm selling one on Classifieds, brand new, though for a lot more. These are literally 38 inches around! I can't zip up the one I got and I can wear... Anything. Beautiful vest and this one looks massive!
My old Connolly hwm had that zipper and didn’t zip but Denny Calder sent me a Talon puller replacement - an easy fix.It is pretty much my size. and I think I could live with the Suzuki zip pull.
I have been looking at this one, how would you reform the the waist band? (@Monitor, you did suggest this was not too hard to do I think?)
Thanks

This indeed looks like sheepskin. Beautiful jacket, I want it How do I buy from this website. They probably don't ship internationally, do they?https://allegro.pl/oferta/kultowa-r...26c989b66bdbe96499e13bc806f55bd0c404f69ac7020
Highwayman - Probably sold by the Rivetts in the 70s. An interesting jacket, maybe some of you know more, but from what i know it was sheepskin.
The zip pull - but it might have been a replacement? I’ve still got an Aero Highway Patrol jacket of the same vintage with its original Aillee (Ailée?) zipper. I think they used a variety of zippers in the early days.Thanks. Was it actually the zip pull or the full zip that was S? Seems coincidental.
It is a bin the seller does not ship to USThis indeed looks like sheepskin. Beautiful jacket, I want it How do I buy from this website. They probably don't ship internationally, do they?
Is this an auction, or bin?
I seen Cockpit jackets show up on the bay. I do not have personal knowledge but they look robust to my eye and my impression is they are up there with the best US jackets from their time frame. Comparable to Vanson on a smaller scale.Seller I follow got two cool jackets. This one looks awesome, though I never heard of this brand before.

I would consider this if I was in the market for a riding jacket
If you mean Cockpit as in ex-Avirex, I'm not 100% sure this is it but I'm hardly an expert on these things. I've never seen anything like it by Cockpit but on the other hand, they've done some impressive stuff (occasionally) so it could be.
It reminds me of Golden Bear but I haven't seen one this nice, with suede backed hem, fur collar, etc. Impressive set altogether.
