Guess there’s not enough money in honesty JohnI owned that jacket over 20 years ago, and it had never had any patches on it. Exact same jacket, down to the smallest wrinkle. Sad that someone applied all those patches and decided to sell it as if it were an originally patched jacket. The seller was told days ago the history of this original, but I guess it's just not all that important to him to correct his sale.
