About This Jacket:

This jacket is one of several almost pristine examples that I've been able to see in person. The condition is virtually unused, and the lining proves it by not having any wrinkles. The materials used are excellent for 1962, and the leather color is a dark seal brown, with reddish mouton. The interior lining of the front pockets and inner pocket is made with a green canvas, and the lining is quite thick, with a heavy weave. Note that the 7823B series (somewhat rare) have the larger paperclip Conmars. Ralph Edwards was a child-company of Cagleco Sportswear of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and it appears that the name change happened around 1959-1960.
