This Sportclad arrived at my proxy in Japan.

Also a Bates BAJ-A1 a repro of their 70s model. These are not made in USA despite the tag but licensed product of Bates Japan. A shop on yahoo jp is getting rid of these at half price.

I was planning on bidding on that Sportclad and three separate times I forgot to bid…my loss, your gain haha! It was at a really great price, congrats!

Thank you. Nowadays, I usually place a sniper bid and do not come back to watch. This one I placed a sniper bid and was watching it at the closing time. I own a later model with the quilt lining and sewed in throat strap. Have been looking for this earlier model for a while. We would have gone into a bidding war and I would certainly lose LOL.

Haha I doubt it, these auctions often end in odd times for me. I always need to place one bid and that’s it. I’m glad it went to a good home!

Forgot the time zone. It is the right time zone for me but I also usually opt for fire and forget these days.

Nice catch. I love my FourSpeed x-zip - so much so that I ended up buying another one. I have yet to come across a straight-zip model in my size though. Probably for the best, since I've been trying real hard to dial back on the leather jacket buys haha

Nice, how do you find it? Super beefy like a lost worlds?

I'm afraid I've never handled a Lost Worlds jacket in person so I can't compare the two, but I'd classify it as comfortably midweight! Very easy to wear (temperature permitting). Still waiting on the other x-zip to arrive, which looks beefier by comparison in the photos, but it's difficult to tell for sure. I'll share more details once I've got it in hand.
