Vintage 1930’s Horsehide Leather “Barnstormer” Car Coat

Made by the Reliable Sportswear Ltd. company out if Toronto, Canada.

Nice thick horsehide. All buttons work great. Leather’s in good condition. Lining is in decent shape overall, the right side armpit could use a little bit of restitching but the shearling is in good shape. An amateur repair was done to the right hand wrist seam (pictured). Mouton is in good condition, aside from the right hand front edge. I applied two coats of Obenauf’s Heavy Duty LP, so the coat is ready for use and a new home.

I have a letter of provenance from the previous owner. Whose father purchased this jacket in the 1930’s for his mail route in the rural Canadian winters.

All measurements are taken laid flat on the floor.
Shoulder to Shoulder: 20 3/4”
Pit to Pit: 23 1/2”
Collar to Hem: 30”
Shoulder to Cuff: 25 1/4”

Asking $775 Shipped CONUS PayPal Friends and Family (or add 3% to cover PayPal fees). Can be shipped overseas for additional price.
