Nice jacket, leather seems thick. Reed is considered vintage, $60 is par for the course for these I think.

In flight jackets one of the things to look at are the knits. They tend to get ragged with age. These look good, you won't go wrong with this one for $60, has removable liner, too. PS - there is a thread "Ask a question, get an answer" - best to ask there. Maybe our mods can pin it?

This one has a really nice collar. But asking price is a bit too imo much considering the jacket has some issues

I checked on this jacket a few weeks ago seeing its a RP but the back is short......... 24"......... Too short for me. This is otherwise a great jacket IMO.

Back length is no problem for me. But I’m not too happy about the busted seams and the hem alteration/repair. If not for those I would have bought it instead of posting it here.

HH Californian A-2 size 40-42 ---- possible main zipper issue but seems fixable. Bad Knits. This leather ages to an amazing teacore sorta wear through..... Leather seems to be in decent shape.

Good eye!! I immediately asked for measurements when I saw the label and didn't look that close. When I got the short back measurement, I just lost interest. If the issues are fixable, at least one could perhaps leverage a better price.

Cool jacket, but I'm wondering if that is that is circular patches of mold/mildew on the front of the jacket. This coming from Portland, Oregon makes me suspect mold. Very wet, mild winters in Western Oregon are perfect conditions for mold, and anything stored in non-climate controlled conditions is at risk of getting infested with the stuff.

Definitely something to ask about. Lots of old natural deerskin jackets have stains but this one has them in a few different areas. Many nice and round. I don’t have enough interest and experience with the hide.

Nice looking Ralph Edwards

I think they are fixable. I’m just not interested in a project jacket at the moment. But for someone who is up for it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cooler half belt.

Yes indeed a Ralphs-Pugh. Early 50s I would guess. Not sure I like it. I do like this one. Thanks for the heads up!
