Sweet LW J23 trade

[photo2u]

Friends,

I just traded this very nice LW J23 in black color. I was lucky enough to be in the right place and at the right time.

I can hardly wait for it to make it home!

Here is a preview:

Nice man! I know this has been on your want list for quite awhile. You could not have done better!

Nice work!!!! If it doesn't work out for any reason, let me know I'd be interested. But I tend to think it will!

Ton, I am still in the quest for the Russett color one. I have all brass Talon zippers ready for the job. I am going to pitch it to Stu and see if he will work with me on this project.
This jacket is sweet! The gentleman who ordered it knew what he wanted. By his posts, he definitely knows his jackets.

Photo, what lining does your J23 have there? Looks interesting...

 

[photo2u]

The lining was a dead stock wool that stood was advertising long ago. This is a period correct wool for this jacket. Since I live in the San Gabriel Valley, I will mostly wear this jacket with just a t-shirt. I might just take it and keep it at my Bulgaria place. It will work just right for those winter days.

I've had a couple LW and the one I got ~2 years back from Worf is my fave. I scour Stu's pages for sales on 48's, but not very often do they appear. I think everyone should have or at least try one. It literally is an apocalypse piece that will protect during riots/earthquakes/zombie-alien invasions etc.

Tangent warning: What happened to your boy last night? Thought he might be able to pull it off. Hell, I'd let either one beat me for $150M US

He did much better than expected. Mayweather let him tire himself out, he was always going to flag over twelve rounds. McGregor was totally knackered by the end, the referee made the right decision. He's smiling all the way to the bank now.

Yeah, I had hoped he'd pull it out, but alas, not this time. But, I'm sure he'll get over it pretty quickly with that payday...

McGregor's in amazing physical condition though, if he hadn't been fighting one of the greatest fighters who's ever lived he might have won!

 

[jacketjunkie]

That whole fight was a rip-off for the viewers money. It was clear all along McGregor didn't stand a chance, the only question was whether he'd lose by points over 12 rounds or by knock-out. It's no big math that a boxing worldchampion is better at boxing than a MMA fighter, the outcome was as obvious as it would have been in Mcgregors favor, had they been mma-fighting.

edit: lovely LW jacket. Please post more pictures as soon as you can! I'm sure it's not a size 40 so there's nothing I missed out on.. it's alright... I am currently saving for a LW Roadhouse!

Looks awesome. What did you trade for it?

I traded the jacket for $$$$

Lol that's more commonly referred to as buying or selling. Nice find.

SCORE !!

The jacket came in two days ago. Lighting fast delivery by seller. The Buco is just as described in prime condition. Very warm thick red wool dead stock from late 50's. The fit is tight for my current weight. However, I will keep it and can rock it unzip. This jacket has the very nice zippers all around.
