Similar to the jacket Marlon Brando wore in the classic 50s movie about Union corruption on the New York waterfront.
Aero Leather Company produces this replica. This is from their product page.
For many years we've been making "The Waterfront", a reproduction of the 1950's Buffalo checked Work Jacket worn by Brando in "On The Waterfront". Like everyone else, we believed Brando's jacket was Green & Black, until some rare colour footage was discovered last year showing the film jacket was, in fact, Red and Black
This Hercules has little signs of use for a jacket from the 1940s. Different pockets, no knits on the cuffs. Too small for me, so no fit pics other than a try on in the video. Probably a size 40.
Additional pics.
Light weight even for wool.
Nice spring in the waist knits.
1940s Talon zipper
