100% original, unrestored jacket! Features a beautiful light brown shade typical of certain 1970s contracts—a color highly sought after today due to its rarity.
Size 46 (XL)—a rare size for original 70s G-1s!! Clean lining, ribbing in excellent condition, supple and sound leather, no repairs.
Only flaw to note: one collar button is missing—a subtle detail that is invisible when the jacket is worn (see photo). Exceptional condition for a functional jacket that is nearly 50 years old!!
