Horsehide-All Weather Garment-Police Jacket

[tmitchell59]

I've owned another All Weather Garment leather jacket and they are built to last. The lining on this one is pretty trashed. The leather is very nice condition. Very supple.

I received that Jacket at the start of a very busy, very hot weekend. It was cooler today, but still too warm for a leather jacket. I've got on light weight shorts and shirt. That is about all the wearing I have done. It is difficult to get through the torn/threaded lining. I'll do some pics of the lining. It has working inner zipped pocket. The original labeling is still attached. The leather on the Jacket is actually quite stunning. The Condition is as stunning. I would guess a working Jacket like this was expensive and taken care of. It shows. The Zippers are solid through out. Shoulders strong, collar solid with the inner Corduroy lining. All the sleeve snaps are present.

my words exactly. I just have to own stuff like this. How long will this stuff be found?

the rear and front left panel is amazing

In the ad there was one decent picture of that back. I just keep coming back and looking.

hat leather is amazing....great find!!

I along with a lot of others watched that jacket form weeks, maybe months. I sold a couple and made an offer. Sure glad I did.

Very Snug in the Waist as cinched, I may loosen may not. I would imagine it fits me pretty close to how it should. The leather is hard to describe. I think you can see it in the pictures. It is old. I've got others from this era. they were made for a pretty tough business. You can move in that jacket. It isn't stiff at all and not that heavy. It is very well cut. Made for action. You feel it when you put it on.

That's awesome. Any plans on refurb to the lining or just leave 'er as is? Love that leather.

I have a Lost Worlds Jacket is close to what this jacket may have looked a felt like. Very similar weight Horsehide. I'll do some side my side pictues.

Here are the Interior pics. I will have this one re-lined. I have no idea what that would cost or what type of material is best or even available. I'm going to look into it.

Leather Weather came back last night. This is a great wearing jacket.
