This Cockpit Southampton jacket has some unusual and unique factory mods. that are a mystery. Patches on the right breast and upper arm and two eyelets at the waist. These are not repairs,there is no damage and the previous owner told me he ordered the jacket to be like this.The leather is identical to that used elsewhere on the collar, belts and seam tape.
There are some bald spots on the collar and cuffs but overall this jacket is very rugged with fabulous patina. The waist belt is particularly robust.
The Cockpit made some very nice jackets in the early 1980's. I love them and rate them very highly as good as Eastman in fact. This one is just a shade small for my taste though.
