Found this at Goodwill for $10. Practically unworn, a bit of patina on the cuffs. Lining is a heavy satin fabric. Handwarmer pockets are lined with flannel.moleskin. Any information as to age or about the maker would be appreciated.

$10??!! That is a home run with bases loaded. :thumb:

A grand slam for sure. Reminds me that I need to visit my local thrift shops again soon.
The graphics on the labels have a 1940s or 1950s sort of look to them. Are there any other labels inside the pockets, such as a union label maybe?

 

[Inusuit]

The only labels on the jacket are the ones pictured. Nothing in the pockets. There is no interior pocket. The main zipper and the chest pocket zipper are Talons.

Normally the local Goodwill (Cheyenne) writes the price on the jacket lining with felt tip marker and most of the leather jackets are $25-$35 for mall shop stuff. Since this one was not marked (Thank You!), they let me have it for $10.00. Actually a bit less with my senior discount.

SWEET! It fits, right?

Perfectly! Snug as I understand is appropriate for the style and era and the sleeve length is correct.

What a steal! I've seen similar Californian style half belts like this going for serious money on ebay and yours is mint! If it doesn't smell of mold or tobacco smoke, you're in the money! Very nice!

Very nice find! Fits like it was made for you. Looks like 50s era.

Thanks for the kind comments and information. The jacket is almost as old as I am but in much better shape.
