I have reluctantly had to admit that I'm very unlikely to lose enough weight to ever fit into some of my favourite stuff again, so I'm offering it all up here for sale or trade.
First up is a Cooper's A2 goatskin flying jacket in a size 40R; in a previous life I worked as a pilot and this jacket has seen many things in many places. The leather and zips etc. are all as good as the day I got it, these jackets are known to take years to properly wear in and this one is just there now.......Except the lining, which is badly frayed behind the bottom of the zip on both sides. I had a quote some time ago for £40 to re-line the whole thing, so not the end of the world.

I'd like £40 plus postage for this please, an iconic jacket with years left in it.
Next up, a Barbour pile liner which pop-studs in to a size 42 Barbour jacket, good clean condition.

I'd like £12 plus postage, please.
Next is my SASS Ventile smock, as good as the day it was made, perhaps better as I dyed it to mellow down the camo and it's now very acceptable, as you'll see in the pics. This fits me over a light base layer, I'm 5'10" and slightly over 45" chest, but I need something to go over thick woolen layers so very sadly this has to go. I've done a pic with a DPM smock to show how much it's now toned down; you hardly notice the camo any more.

I'll sell this for the bargain price of £80 plus postage for a quick sale!
Next we have a Swannie bush shirt, the one that opens all the way down with poppers, sized large by them.

I'd like £30 plus postage please.
Another Swanny, this one's an overhead smock type, made in NZ and sized XL, but is actually about the same size as the large one above.
View attachment 41335 Also £30 plus postage please.
Next up, three pairs of RM Williams trousers, they are all 34" waist and 33" or longer leg; the darker of the three are excellent quality moleskin and the other two are heavy quality cotton jeans......The pants the Aussie cowboys and ranchrs wear, these are almost indestructable. They have very little wear and will be laundered befor posting as they have some slight marks from storage.

I'd like £15 plus postage for each pair please
Last but not least, I have a very expensive and good quality pair of sheepskin boots, which were gifted to me as slippers; they have a plastic sole to them and I'd always thought to use them as tent shoes but they're just way too warm, I suffer from very hot-running feet so these are unworn and as new.
Picture to follow on these, I'd like £30 plus postage please.
As trades I'd be looking for size 36" trousers, and good lightweight windsmock/windshirt to fit 44"-46" chest or a Ventile jacket, smock or poncho with adjustments possible either way.
Thanks for looking in and please express any interest in the thread and then by pm.
