    Can anybody help me with this jacket, am I right in thinking Falstaff is a good make ?

    I thought it was leather when I bought it, but look more like rubber

    Do you think it has military connections (flight jacket) or motorcycle jacket

    What age also, can't find another one anywhere

    Many thanks

    Could it be waxed cotton? Logo dates it to pre-1969.

    Falstaff might be good Charlie if you're home on the couch mulling it over. :)

    komokwa The Truth is out there...!

    flight jackets were quite popular...but heavy leather and sheep wool made them expensive.......plastic and poly were cheaper...
    this one looks to have had minimal use.
