Half Belt Leather Jacket, Size 38, 1940s-1950s Mint

[guygardner]

Beautiful deerskin leather jacket in classic 1940s half-belt cut, with action back and side-cinchers, as well as classic button cuffs. Very flattering cut. Jacket is in mint condition, very rare for its age, and has a nice satin lining. Deerskin is thick but soft. Deerskin is prized for its strength and softness and is more expensive and harder to find than other hides. The style is typical 1940s-1950s half-belt, but I am unsure of the date of manufacture. This may have been a tailored jacket, since it is lacking a company tag. I have never seen one for sale like this, and probably won't again. Definitely one-of-a-kind.

Measurements:
shoulder to shoulder: 17 inches
Across the front, from pit to pit: 20 inches
Length, from below back of collar to hem: 25 1/2 inches
Sleeves, from shoulder to cuff: 25 1/2 inches

Asking $350 USD shipped anywhere.

That is beautiful and would be mine if a size bigger. Quite a bit longer than most halfbelts of that era (and that is a good thing). Somebody grab this.
