This is a long shot, but...
Several months ago I got a wild hair and wanted a vintage USAF field jacket. I found this one on fleabay....paid 45.00 (plus TX and shipping) for it. The liner that came with it was all wrong...not to mention, had a big whole in it. The jacket was also missing several buttons. I found another, better condition, correct wool liner for it. I also tracked down a set of vintage buttons for it...and sewed them on. I just checked my history and I've got about 120.00 in this thing...and it doesn't fit. I'm dead center between a medium and a large. This jacket/liner is a medium....it's a little tight in the shoulders for me. I can wear it...it's just a little snug. I'm starting over with a large. I don't expect to recoup all my money, but hopefully I can get some to put towards a large.
So....what is it?
1965 USAF cotton sateen field jacket...with wool liner. Size MEDIUM. Jacket and liner are both in good condition to be nearly 60 years old. Maybe you have a teen that is into this style that can wear it...maybe you can wear it??
I'm assuming it will cost 20.00+ to ship (it's heavy), so pricing at 75.00
If it ain't worth that...I'll just keep it.
Can provide more pics on request...
