For the price of a couple of gallons of gas, not bad.

This jacket is from HLB, just like the one I took pic's of at RMNZ with the AVG patch, the authenticity of which was discussed.
However this jacket has the same interesting arm patch detail. The upper end of the arm patch is sewn into the jacket torso to sleeve seam at the shoulder. It must have been a bitch to sew, different to the diamond and AN-J-4 style patches from other M-445 manufacturers.
Just a small difference but cool nevertheless I reckon.

This one, as many other shearling jackets, is probably beyond restauration 
The price was right and itchy fingers could not resist placing a bid at the last minute. I guess I will see the extent of the damage when I get the jacket. The wife will be pleased to get another one in this shape that takes up space in the closet

Good buy Tom. Even if the jacket is beyond help you can sell the zipper for a healthy profit.

Yea my postman and I have a deal so the jacket can find it's way into the garage, and then the closet before someone notices. I feel so dirty.

For $30 that still makes a beautiful display. I am hoping that only the back panels are bad. If the whole jacket is fragile it still is anice piece of history. I would be surprised if the zipper was changed as the jacket seems to have seen only minimal wear. Time I guess is much worse than wear for shearling.
