    I have to say up front, you just can't find these Punk Rock jackets from the early days anywhere!
    I searched high and low, lots of modern copies, even vintage jackets that have been painted to look real, but not like this one.
    I was there in the beginning, I did not like Punk at first, but eventually I gave in to the simplistic sounds, and the clothing too.

    This jacket was a common make with no branding (Lemmy God rest his soul wore one, and online searches will find pictures of him wearing it), but is of good quality as you can see from the condition of the leather.
    The badges were on this when I got it, all show some kind of wear and tear and a little rust inside. These alone have quite high value, although the shop I got this from had removed and binned one metal badge because it was "rude"(?), and pulled off the iron-on cloth badge on the left shoulder because it had "swear words" on it! Such a shame! :-( I might try to source a vintage cloth badge of similar size to cover the old glue!
    Band names on the back, Crass band logo on the right sleeve and "DIRT" on the left.

    The red lining is a bit grubby and the stitching has come undone in places, but it all adds to the genuine patina IMHO.
    Hope you like it, Bob.
