H.L. Block M-422a in size 40. Has new red Bemberg rayon liner patterned from one of my other original Block jackets, purplish/red/brown 100% wool knits, Honey colored fur on the collar & a vintage N.O.S. nickle plated Talon zip. No tag, that was long gone with the original liner. Still present is the yellow U.S.N. under the collar. Hide is excellent on this one with no tears/flaking etc. Has outline of a Marine Air Wing patch on shoulder, so would assume this was actually a USMC issued jacket Vs. US Navy. Would make an excellent everyday wearer.

measurements:
chest pit to pit 22"
shoulders 19"
sleeve length leather only 22" with knits 25"
waist sise seam to side seam 20"
length base of collar to bottom of waistband 25.5"


Asking $450 shipped in the states, will split overseas shipping cost 50/50.

You have done a great job of restoring this one Steve. Far better value than a new repro at twice the price. Seen some of your other work on VLJ.

Thanks! Selling this one & a couple others to cover expenses for the order of goatskin coming for the AN-J-3's that I'm reproducing. Also made patterns of this Block while it was apart & seriously thinking about popping some of those out eventually.
