FOR SALE 1957 Cagleco Sportswear 7823(AER) G1, Size 44, £225

[Mike1973]

Right, my dads old Cagleco Sportswear G1 is now up for grabs. I haven't listed it on ebay yet, I'll put it up on here and VLJ first.

Looking for £225. It's in good used condition. The incorrect little Lee zipper has now been replaced with a new repro Talon. It's incorrect as well, but looks a lot better.
There is wear and repair on the liner around the collar, but the rest of the liner is in good condition.
The cuffs have been replaced at some point.
The collar has a little wear but overall looks in good shape.

No idea on postage costs at the moment. I'll box it up and weigh it later. Also, I need to supply those all important dimensions.

Cheers,

Mike.

Thanks Dean, I'll throw a tape around it when I'm back home later this evening.

What a beauty!!! If it was a 46 I would not be able to resist this one.

Right, here are the measurements people

Laid flat and zipped up, 22" across the bottom of the armpits. That's not stretching it of course.
Across the waist is 20"
Sleeves are 24", from the top seam down to the bottom of the leather. (not the knit cuff)
And down the back, from the base of the collar to the bottom of the leather, 23".

I've not worked out postage yet, but as is sounds like it could be staying in the UK, it won't be an issue.

Dirtbagdiver is first in line, and was just waiting on the measurements from me to pull the trigger or not. I have given him first refusal. Another forum member PM'd me after Dirtbagdiver, keen to buy, and is second in line. Hope all OK with this!

Hi Mike, how tall are you? Any fit pics... Not sure about G-1 fit, usually have A-2s. Thanks

 

[Mike1973]

Bad luck Dean, thanks for letting us know! Another forum member has said he will take it via PM so I'll mark this up as SOLD. Thanks fellas!

Also, here's a photo of the new Talon zipper I've put in. The old Conmar was history and had a Lee puller on what was left of the old Conmar tapes.
