A wealth of visual info, thanks for posting these. 
I find myself wanting to get reproductions made of at least a dozen or so of these though.
I actually did own one briefly as a kid. I wore a Schott Perfecto with the stars on the epaulets just like the one pictured. My brother in law gave it to me I think, and it was quite small, maybe a 36 at best, but it fit me for a couple of years. I was a bad to the bone 10 year old!

Please excuse my ignorance, but what is the source of all these images: a collection? a museum? pix found on the internet? If it's a collection, you can tell it took a loooong time to put it together. Are those jackets valuable or, other than for copying the styles, they're not really wearable or something that people will pay a lot to possess?
Hi Vespizzare,
The pics i put up are jackets we generally buy and sell, some are kept by us. They all have a value, some more so than others. The majority i guess are bought by people to wear, there is still a huge amount of interest in old vintage leathers and we are seeing a steady but constant increase in demand these days.

Posts #3 and #4 are Dutch, I'd think! "De Wit" is more of a Dutch name and "lederkleding" is also Dutch.

Amazing to see a Robert Hall label. In the early Sixties they were a New York area chain clothier that had cavernous stores devoted to outfitting proper young boys and men. I'm amazed that they ever sold horsehide jackets.
1930s Californian, a thing of real beauty. Beautiful condition considering its age.
Is this one still around? Can't believe I missed it. What size is it?
