Interesting jacket, interesting backstory

US ebay item 370152930978

Nice jacket with a nice story to go with it, for movie fans...

It's a sharp jacket regardless of the provenance (movie wardrobe reject ). Were it a touch bigger in the shoulders and chest............

Nice jacket. 1950s, not 30s, but a nice jacket.

The rule against posting live ebay auctions is, however, one
of the rules I think most valuable here on the Lounge.

'40s maybe.

Irritating lack of label. If zipper original to jacket, possibly 40s, probably 50s.

The piping on the front is a feature used on Aero's Hercules, as well.

Nice jacket; someone's in for a treat. The price seems high, though. I've seen similar jackets go for around $200.
