About This Jacket:

This Cagleco Sportswear G-1 is a fine example from one of their six contracts. The jacket is still in very solid condition considering that it dates to around 1955. The goatskin is thick but very soft, and has a strong shine. The mouton shows some wear around the collar but it's still free of bald spots. The lining is magnificent, and it has the printed name of the original owner, as does the interior of the wind flap. The cuffs have some holes which I will darn, as does the waistband, but they're all in preservable condition. The zipper is perfect. The shoulders are wider than usual, as most Cagleco G-1 jackets are too tight for me, even the larger ones, but this one is OK. Note that the jacket has an unused nametag from the original owner.
