First Test run of the Star Sportswear 55J14 Series

[bazelot]

I just got this jacket. It is in excellent condition and all original. It is first test run of the Star Sportswear 55J14 series (I got the info from John Chapman because I had absolutely no idea what I had). Knits could be mended but replacing them would probably be best. The patina and the grain is absolutely stunning on this jacket. Waistband, label, lining and mouton are all in stellar condition.

I wouldn't mess with the cuffs at all. What I do with ratty cuffs is I cut off the little pieces sticking out that might snag on something and trim them up and they should be fine.

Another stunner Tom. First Navy jacket I've seen with a Hershey bar Talon.

Thinking about it I had never seen one either. Zipper is original and blackened.
