Friends,

I am trimming my collection. I have for sale a size 42 lw flamingo in black color with all Talon Zippers. I think they are Nickel? The size runs true to size 42. Very heavy jacket.

The leather might be horse but truly I do not remember (please look at images and advice) I bought this jacket about 15 years ago from Lost Words. The jacket is very heavy but not as heavy as my lw Buco J23.

I will take 500 delivered CONUS.

Thanks for looking.

Yes! Those measurements would help:

Pit to pit 22.5
sleeves 26
back of shoulders 19

Please, if you need any other measurements, Just let me know!

Thanks for inquiring,
G.

Update upon further review main zipper is not Talon. It is scovill size #10. Also the belt has a little wear. I did not use this jacket more than five times due to the size was just a little big for me.

Thanks! I will be selling a brand new official Issue G-1 bought it about 12 years ago and was just big on me. Size 42 fits at least a size or two bigger.

Good luck with the sale. One of the best jackets up for sale. Could you add the back length?

Beautiful jacket, unfortunately I think it may be a tad large on me. Leather looks like goatskin to me btw, but that's just an uneducated guess!

Not goat at all. I think is horse because of the density. If anyone out there with more info on this flamingo, please let me know. I can provide any close-up images to help the identification prosses.

Friends,

The jacket still for sale. Similar to the current speed demon that retails for $1350. Mine has the Military style Nickle talon zips. The main zip is size # 10. The jacket is the lighter weight Horsehide. Not the 4+oz type. However, a very solid jacket not broken in. I did not wear much.

To be quite honest I never would have thought that a leather jacket called the flamingo would be so bad ass as this.
