More Vintage Hein Gericke Jackets

[cleeuw]

Well after pestering to Noel to sell me one of his vintage HG jackets, he instead forwarded me a link to an ebay auction: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140529269435

Won the auction at 41 Euro, 30 Euro shipping to Vancouver and this baby is mine.

Thanks again, Noel. Now I just have to convince you to sell one of your Simpson Bandits.

Wow, That is a pretty Rad jacket.

Loco's got the sweet set up, shopping the foreign Ebay's. I still havn't tried this, but I know he's scored some major buys with it.

It's a 44 and fits perfectly. I'm kind of glad I didn't end up buying yours from you, as I'm sure it would have been too small for me.

I am going to polish it today and see how it looks. If it's still too green, I'm going to see about having it re-dyed.

I'm really, really impressed with the quality of the jacket. Noel- do you have any idea what this hole is made for? It's a stitched hole, so obviously it's meant to be there, but I can't figure out what it's for.

Nevermind, I guess it's just armhole vents.

Hahaha.. I thought the same thing too.. "oh Crap!!.. tears in the arms..", yep.. just air vents..
oh yeah, my sz42 Hein Gericke would never have fit you, by first one you wanted, (the sz 44 that you missed by a few days), would have fit you just fine...
the jacket looks great!!.. I sure wish the one I have fitted me just as well...
