Just in time for colder temperatures I received today this jacket from France.
Warm quilted liner and generous cut (no shoulder pads) - perfect for slipping it over a suit.
A sort of "storm cuff" in the sleeve lining, which closes above the wrist thanks to an elastic string.
The mouton collar (mercifully odor-free) is obviously removable.
It is remarkably light weight! Leather is maybe Capeskin (?) - no expert for identifying leather, but it is softer and lighter than my German bullhides.
Back with action-pleats and elasticated sides. Scalloped yokes that are so typical for continental European sports-wear.
Brass zippers from "Eclair" and "Vitex" (1930's type - right Baron?)
Best Regards
