Love this jacket. That great heavy vintage Vanson cowhide they’re known for. Super thick heavy leather that’s been broken in so very easy to wear, super comfortable.

$250

Love the design of this jacket, great blend of motorcycle/casual so easy to wear in variety of situations.

Everything in great working order. No issues with zippers or leather.

Tagged a size 40 and fits pretty exact. I’m a pretty standard 40 and this fits very well.

Would buy this just for that leather... But Ksozay, you really need to work on your jacket measuring. No way Enfield in a sz. 40 has a 21" P2P. I can't be anything under 23". 22.5" at the very least!

Lovely jacket.. I have the exact same jacket. But FYI: This model jacket is an Enfield, not a Model B!

I will check the ptp again. Measured seam to seam but not using fabric tape.

Thanks for the update on the model.

Seam to seam of the front panels isn't how you measure pit to pit, you need to include a portion of the side panel to get a correct measurement.
Stretch the jacket as much as you can and measure just below the armpits, at the seam where the sleeve joins the armpit, but past the side panel seams into the side panels.

Anyone selling here or on eBay who isn’t using a tailor’s measuring tape will be unable to provide accurate measurements. A tailor’s tape will conform to the uneven surface of leather or cloth. A metal tape is best for its intended purpose: measuring lumber.

That's identical to my size 40 America jacket, which is made off the same pattern. This jacket is a bargain, it's a shame buying from the US is so expensive as an European.

I understand, trust me. Happy to work out something for international sale. I don’t mind shipping out of country

What a deal! Somebody got lucky here. I have this jacket in brown and it's probably my best jacket.
