Yes. The same one, Terry. You look great in that green plaid woolie.

Thank you. I wear it fully zipped with throat latch closed. The latch comes off if you choose. Especially warm and a comfortable jacket to wear.

Do you or the moth have any ideas? The leather trim and buttons look similar. Never heard of a ZIP branded zipper. It has a Canadian feel.

Debating on this Retro Moto goat from Overland. Like the torso but feel the sleeve length is a bit much, even for a moto. It's even slightly pushed up 1/4in. Thoughts?

Second jacket is some Dillard's thin lambskin but it has 2 wrist buckles that I can keep at wrist.

Very Interesting. You don't see many "Zip" branded zippers in Canada; it's usually a Lightening. The other thing that I find interesting is that yours has a distinctly 50s cut with the action back and overall feel while the other 2 examples here are 40s Half-belts. They all have more of a Moto vibe more than a hunting one which is cool for vintage wool. You said yours is zipper on the left yes?

Mine is tippy-top quality all round; it's in the freezer for a few days to ensure there are no moths hiding..

.I'll be keeping an eye out for more vintage Acme wool. Especially a cool black one like @Nacho's!

Looks good to me man! Congrats. I like it when they fit like that. Think it's the intended fit but I'm no authority.
Thank you, sir!

Yeah, I think so too. Nevertheless, silver living is even if it’s a little roomy on the chest and wide on the shoulders, the size I got actually compensated for my big belly. So it still looks like a good fit, methinks.

Simmons Bilt black goat Klondike. Olive stitching, chest pocket altered to remove outer cording, wrist cuffs omitted; straight line finish. Triangular patches added to chest and hand warmers pockets. Inner pocket is made of the olive cotton lining, not leather faced. Brown corozo buttons. This is a relatively nice and simple modification of their pattern. The back is yoked as usual.

Like the Aero in dark seal, this is a lighter hide (the SB is lighter than the Aero, but there isn't much in it; both were 1.2 mm but this is more pliable). The neck is really comfortable - somehow, the weight is distributed differently from other jackets I own (suit jackets and blazers approximate the neck 'weight' of this jacket).

After wearing this Y2 Leather Grizzly for a few days, im in love, and it's amazing in the sub zero Temps.
The quality is amazing, the Mouton is very plush, super comfy, the 40 fits great and I can still get a sweatshirt underneath.

Yes, zipper is on left. Not hunting wools for sure.
