New 30's Halfbelt repro

[Cole]

I pickt this one up for a steal on eBay (26,22 $). It was sorted out by the Manufacturer because of some QC issues (one visible mark on the back, a few visible marks on the sleeves, stitching not allways that streight). It is a size 44 with 26,5" sleeves. I dare you to try and spot the QC issues

Today I picked it up from customs (the creedy bastards even tax the shipping costs ).

The jacket is beautiful, but in desperate need of pecards because the leather is very dry. I'll post more pictures once I got my hands on some pecards and gave it a workover or two.

With shipping and customs / taxes this jacket did cost me about 60,00 € in total. It might not be an Aero or something in that league, but I would say you can't realy complain at that pricepoint.

Looks like the Film Jackets Bruno Half Belt as in this thread. It is a nice fitting jacket and they will soon be offering a less weathered leather (although it looks damn good as is).

These are Diesel Cassidy boots. But they look more ore less like the Iron Rangers from Red Wings.

@Grayland
It is a Filmjackets Bruno Half Belt. But since this one got sorted out for QC reasons I didn't mention the name, because it is not represenative to the quality they usualy sell.

This jacket is the unequivocal evidence that a high quality and well fitting jacket need not implicitly be an Aero ...

Nice looking HB Cole.
If you post some more pictures could you take some of the lining too?

Cole, what tag size is it?

Thanks,

The second of these jackets I have seen and I'm struck by the fit. Nice high armholes and slim sleeves. Great fitting jacket!

That's because it's a copy of an original Californian (1940's-50's) I think. As seen worn by Bruce Willis in Surrogates.
