Cairns & Brother New York Fireman's coat NYFD Vintage, RARE and 100% real no reserve, sane shipping!! If you know about firefighting equipment or are a collector, you know the rarity and value of this highly collectable item. I have NEVER seen one on ebay, in fact just finding a picture of one anyw in the web is a real challenge. They are IMPOSSIBLE TO GET END OF STORY . This is the symbol of the true American Hero. No other single garment says tough yet humble like this coat and the men who proudly wear it. And this one has been proudly worn and shows every day of it yet is still ruggedly presentable, even more so actually.This one has a full quilted, water proof liner that snaps out and is weatd like a costume designer could only dream about. Also it probably weights close to 20 lbs! The name of the man who wore it and "509 NYFD" is perminently written on the right, inside lapel.
