For a vintage Lee Storm Rider jacket that I got in the early 70's, this is in very good to excellent condition, with some fading, but relatively little considering its age. One reason might be that after a few years it got very little use, and for the last 25 years or more, it's simply been hanging in a closet. There is a slight flaw in the material on the right side at the back, which you can see in picture number 8, when you enlarge the view. It's not very noticeable but I thought I ought to mention it.

The size on the label looks like 44L to me, but it's extremely faint so I wouldn't swear to it (see picture number 10). I normally take a 42L or 44L jacket, and this one fits, but it's a little snug in the chest and around the neck, so it may just be cut that way. Despite the label and the chest measurement, you'd probably be safer if you think of it as a 42L, unless you like a snug fit in this type of jacket - or if you're wearing it with just a tee shirt.

The measurements I got are:

• Chest, armpit to armpit, laying it flat and buttoned: 23"
• Sleeve, from the seam at the shoulder to the end of the cuff: 25"
• Length, from the tope of the collar, with the collar down, to the hem, measured at the back: 26"

The corduroy collar is in excellent condition, and because of the lining, the jacket can be worn pretty much year-long.

I know the value of these jackets can vary considerably, and since I'm no expert, I've started the bidding low.

I only ship U.S. Priority Mail. No exceptions, except for local pick-up, if done within 3 days of the close of the auction.

Please feel free to ask me any questions.
