Can anyone help with some decent photos of the pale brown leather jacket worn by the fat cop at the end of High Sierra??
Its A2 style with smaller higher pockets??
Thanks
Sam

Hi Sam,
Nice to see you here. How are things down under?

Thanks for the welcome
Things are running smooth downunder
My next jacket project is going slow however
anyone??
Thanks again
Sam
well it took a while
but got some grabs abd had the jacket made
its based on an A2
the pockets are intentionally crooked ( as per the jacket in the film
)
if you havent watched this film and dont know waht im talking about,rent it
very old Akubra Fed (my only hat until the AB comes in )

Wow! That is an awesome jacket from a great movie! Does the chest pocket (D-shaped one) function like the one in the film? Whoever made it did an outstanding job.
Workwear is the new Black.

quick with screen cap
the spacing on the film jacket is differant but the size of the dude is very different to me
the open map/pistol pocket functions as per the film one
i got a little tired of my A2 and Indy stuff ( and it doesnt ever get cold enough to wear the B3 ) so i thought i would take a stab at one of my favourite film jackets
a little obscure but you only live once

The map/pistol pocket makes the jacket! The spacing looks fine considering the overall look of the jacket. Can you tell me a little more about the leather type, color (russet?), who made it? You could be starting a High Sierra trend..
Workwear is the new Black.
Gday
I went into Mars Leathers (Melbourne,Australia) with an A2 in hand (RMNZ Roughwear) and some screen grabs and a hand drawn diagram
i flipped thru the leather samples and selected a reddish brown ( i would guess the film jacket is a yellow honey brown) cowhide with a smooth light grain
if you check my other threads in the jacket section you will see some other Mars custom jackets
regards
Sam
High Sierra is one of my favorite Bogart flicks. That is a very cool jacket you have there.
More links below showing the pockets (inside and out) in better detail

the inside pockets are all fiction,i seem to have gotten the chest pockets pretty good
i would have loved to get a really light colour but dont trust myself to not get it filthy
