Description

This is an original rare

1979 Satin Eric Clapton Jacket Backless Tour 

wore a few times on the job from a retired record promoter. 

Not much at all.

Overall this jacket is beautiful.

The chocolate satin shines and it is overwhelmingly clean and strong.

The yellow collar, edge and sleeves are nice. It has been hanging in closet protected by plastic for many years.

The RSO label logo is embroidered on the front in bright yellow. "Eric Clapton" and "Backless Tour 79" are embroidered on the back.

There aren't any serious discrepancies, but the jacket isn't new, so I will describe the only issues I see. 

Take a close look at the picture of the jacket opened up and you can see a few threads are loose on the tag. The tag looks worn. About 3/4th of the way down the cotton liner, a very small light and feint red or pink spot is noticeable. The cotton liner shows mild wear. Again, this is on the inside and hardly noticeable anyway. Just want to be accurate with my description. The jacket looks nice and you will be proud to wear it. There are no holes, tears or rips. All the buttons snap as they should.  I can't find any issues at all with the outward appearance. 
The tag identifies it as a size Medium.  Might be snug by today's standards.
Measurements were as follows:
Armpit to Armpit  24 1/2 inches
From Collar edge  to End of Sleeve 30 inches
From Armpit to End of Sleeve 20 1/2 inches
