Oh, ok, seller wrote 4 in description. I think you are right, this is 36 mens; seller is trying to sell it to the bigger market (women).

That’s the best idea for a repair of this kind I’ve seen!

Yep, main zipper changing is a pricey procedure.

$150 to go through LW last time I checked

First time I have seen a fix always thought the zip was a goner. I going to file your drawings away for future use. Thank you for posting

^^^ beat me to it. Not one you see everyday. It got the FCL treatment, so it must be worth more, right? Still tempting. Gamma’s is out of this world nice.

Man it got the FC guillotine treatment! Removed the collar!??!!!

Car coat BIN $130 w/ option for offer. Did a quick search of Clearfield Furs/Taxidermy (1915-1992) and they seemed to have been a more well known operation in its day:
