Lost Worlds ?

[442RCT]

I dunno what kind of leather this is, doesn't appear to be horse or goat in the pics.
The tag looks to have been hand sewn on.
Any opinions ? Is this a Lost World's A-2 ?
What size is it ? :?:

I know that many here don't think much of the Lost Worlds A-2, but it's light-years better than that POS. I don't recognize the brand, but obviously it's some cheapo maker.

BTW, the complaints regarding the Lost Worlds A-2 have more to do with its accuracy in terms of pocket spacing, etc. but they're built like tanks. Nothing like this jacket.

I recognize this one-it is goat, made in Turkey, not sure if there ever was a maker's name on these. They are made with a couple of different labels in them. Cuffs are heavy with a seam down them.
Worth about $100 on the open market if in new condition. I bought one last year to wear to work-producing tv commercials outdoors where it can get dinged and I don't care. I darkened up the leather and it doesn't look half bad (or half good) but like I said, it is really just a work jacket.

It's awful, nasty - personally wouldnt give $10 for it!!
But, as the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder so to each is own I guess!!!!
