My camera upload cord has gone missing in the disaster that is my moving to a new place... so here's the stock photo of the latest jacket. 1950s, and flecked! It fits like a dream, although I'm not used to the more roomy style of the time period. Anyway.
BAM!
^^ I love it! Outside patch pockets and ticket pockets are just impossible to find on modern suits and sportscoats.
You must be the cruellest man on the lounge Kools... How do you expect me to get any sleep after seeing all this jewelry realising that I have found not one jacket that fits over years of searching in vain... (edit: forgot to add a smiley)Originally Posted by kools
This is one of my favorites.

Its funny the ticket pocket is actually a false one, its just the flap. I would unstitch it, but I don't want it to show.
Are you sure it's not just sewn shut? That's not uncommon.

No its very much a false pocket.
1940s suede leather leisure jacket I found today. Dual breast pockets! Has a plain back, great buttons and eyelets under the armpits. Has a pen mark on one of the lapels but the lining is perfect.

nice find, thunder. Californian made some great suede (and other leathers) jackets back in the day.
