Roughwear · Jan 17, 2017

Just came across this listing from a well known "seller". How many mistakes and obvious omissions are there in the description?

Hmmmm.. Goatskin, not horsehide... Correct Conmar zipper, not a Talon...And looks too damn good to be an original to me. Also, not really a 'rare' maker.

not to mention replaced liner with new label, wrong an stamp, wrong meatball, replaced knits, hmmmm....oh, and the wrong price.

Aside from the tag on the collar, one could even postulate it's a GW.

It's certainly an original but as Vic says everything has been replaced apart from the goatskin shell. The seller seems confused and economical with the truth.

The serial number on the leather strip behind the collar is interesting though. That's a new one to me.

This is an original Perry Sportswear A2. Almost everything has been replaced, but the goatskin shell is original. The goatskin has vintage patina which is impossible to replicate.

Was this a JC refurb from years ago?

Mashed these two up... has been nearly five years I suppose...
