Carlucci chest protrctor for sale

[Jessica209]

I have a carlucci model chest protector for sale if anyone is interested. https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m54601342993/?ref=search_results

Carlucci's were made for individuals and their individual measurements.  If you're not the individual it was made for, what is the point?

She'll get top dollar for it I'm very sure. If for nothing else as a collector's item.

@Jessica209 Pics, measurements and any other info will really peak people's interest.

Its $173, but it's a black one - not the cool blue one that's sought after more I believe.  I have no doubt it's a real Carlucci, but I don't like it as much as other ones I've seen.

 

EDIT: On closer inspection, padding is black I believe, but the plates are navy blue.  As Max points out below, the Carlucci tag is of course in his signature blue color.

Are you kidding? It was likely commissioned of Ol’ Man Cece to be made in black after some umpire caught (undue and unneeded) grief from an “evaluator” to the tune of, “Dammit, Roger, I don’t wanna see that blue sticking out under your Umpire shirt!”

Notice that the yoke is still done in that trademark blue. Huzzah.

Cece Carlucci was a true craftsman. If you fall within the measurements of this particular CP, you’ll be buying what amounts to be a rare, vintage touring car. It was made to be as low-profile yet protective as possible, and was only limited by the materials of the day. I would have loved to have seen what Cece could do with the vast array of modern materials now available to us. You think the Force3 UnEqual is innovative?

Or, as in my case, I simply didn't like royal blue.

Yeah, it doesn't go with a lot does it?

It’s gone already!

I have this thing. It was found along with the chest protrctor. Im not sure what it is or what it is for. It seems to be made the same, handmade, as the chest protector.  Any help?

My guess, based on the images? It’s a handmade boxing / sparring / kickboxing head protection.

If they were found together, it’s entirely possible that this HP and the Carlucci CP were used for sparring and training for hand-to-hand combat, small weapons self defense (think clubs and batons), and kickboxing / martial arts.
