Nice jacket. The front-=beltg feature is certainly unusual. Am I understanding the photos correctly - it looks like the two bits of the belt at the front can be unbuttoned, leaving only the fixed, rear 'half belt' panel? Absent the front part of the belt, this looks very much like the sort of jacket the Aero HB Deluxe reproduces. I wonder was that sort of halfbelt-style derived from making a jacket with an arrangement like the one in your photo, but leaving out the front belt (either to cut costs, or because most folks wore it that way anyhow, or both)?
Hi Edwards , many thanks for your interest !!! Yes the two bits of the belt can be unbuttoned !!! It's very hard to find a Windward (half belt) with the original belt in two sections !!! If you're interested to buy these one the shipping cost will be 30$ !!! The "buy it now" price is 450$ + shipping cost and you can make me an offer until tomorow (the end of the auction on Ebay) !!! Best regards from Paris , NICKY .
