Not sure if this is Octagon or Bainbridge (My Guess Bainbridge @ton312 Correct me Ton?)

In either case for a big chap

I think it’s octagon! Hard to say but that’s my gut feeling

I think you are right Ton. I sit corrected

Looks like octagon. Snag it if it fits. Here is mine on the adjacent bar stool as I root for the Cowboys to lose.

I was surfing EBay and I am pretty sure @think_zot is up to his shenanigans. Damn he’s got nice jackets. Slinging grails around like nothing.

Not leather, not a deal. But a find, I suppose.

Mostly just optimistic pricing, I feel*.

Pardon our interruption...

Thanks for posting this Al. Just got through paying for it! A few years ago I stopped in to the Vanson factory in Fall River MA and got a tour. Ended up buying a beautiful Model B in competition leather. While there, I saw a a special order Model E in Octagon. Most spectacular jacket I've ever seen. Been coveting an Octagon ever since. Wish I still smoked - could really enjoy one now.

This model, due to the extended CHP kidney panel, has much more handwork than the average Perfecto. The zip-out lining makes it a great winter jacket; on the flip side, it means that someone larger could probably fit into it with the lining taken out.

Schott will also make you a lining for one from real mouton, upon request. The new liner would cost as much as the old jacket, but it could be a real best of both worlds kind of thing.

 

[Aloysius]

A further note. The 22.5” or so PTP that the seller mentions is probably closer to 21” with the winter lining zipped in.
