1940's Hercules leather jacket

For sale a very rare, large sized, 1940's Hercules jacket. No label but from the graining I would suggest horsehide. There is an interesting plastic lined pocket, for keeping cigarettes or tobacco dry (thanks handymike for the info on that). All zips are Talon and all work well. The lining is a strong wine coloured fabric in excellent condition but there is a a small patch repair (shown) which could be corrected by someone with sewing skills. The hide is in good condition, for its age, but there are some battle scars and worn areas. It could probably use a good going over with Pecards dressing but I have left it as some do prefer to see the patina.

Measurements

Pit to pit: 22 1/2"
Shoulders seam to seam: 19"
Sleeves seam to cuff: 25"
Back collar seam to hem: 27 1/2"

Sadly it doesn't quite fit me so I'm offering it here before it goes to eBay.

Price £175 plus postage from Staffordshire UK

Oh man, That is a beauty!
Too big for me, but all the best wishes for your sale!

Bret, grab it quick!

I hate selling nice jackets on eBay, I will consider any offers here before it goes.

Good morning MacAero

I think postage would be around that price, but depends on the size of the box. I'd be prepared to pay the postage, if it means keeping this jacket from eBay.
Cheers
