  1. Nice! Been looking for a nice light vintage work jacket for a while now. So far, I've only had luck finding more modern (60's or newer) stuff.

  2. Thanks Matt,
    Said jacket has been in the collection for around 10 years. I've always had a thing for 3 pocket work jackets. Add a red zipper and it's a done deal. Let me know if you want me to keep an eye out for anything in particular.
