| Early/mid 1950's until early 1960's at a guesstimate. |

Thanks, Dr. Heech. The color is so even/consistent. Odd to me that other than the cool wear spots, the dye seems pretty solid, no whiskering. Super cool jacket in person.

I don't know the value, to be honest. I paid $50 this past weekend because I loved the color and wear on it. Fits me great. Is $50 close to its retail value?

| Hecdog what size is it? I have no idea what it’s worth but I’d pay $50 for it for sure. |

It's a size 42 and fits like a med/large. I'm 5'8" 175lbs and fits me perfect! I probably wouldn't sell it for what I paid, though. I'd like to know it's value first.

I have one as well in size 40! Just got in a shipment yesterday. Killer piece with original elastic in perfect shape. Going to have a hard time getting rid of it.

| THat's a good looking jacket! One just sold last month for about $375. Those 3 pocket jackets are apparently selling for good money. |

Brilliant fit ------------- I don't swim. I can swim. I just don't have much cause to do so in the normal run of things. |
