Those jackets look great for their age. Original belts?

Yes, both are mint.

Will remake the mouton on my oakbrook. For the Herc, I do not have any. Can you please share the Hercules mouton pattern? Here is a link for the thread and PDF file for the graph paper. Here is the link for the thread:https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/leather-jacket-fur-mouton-collar-attachment-pattern.108468/

No problem, I’ll do that later today when I get back home.

There were multiple makers for the Oakbrook and Hercules D pocket jackets so it really depends on which one you’re talking about. Rough Wear and California Sportswear were the main two makers.



Here’s my late 50’s Hercules in steerhide made by California Sportswear.

This one below is the exact Oakbrook that Tom Hardy wore in the movie. Very late 50’s or early 60’s and made in steerhide also by California Sportswear.

The leather is exactly the same. One isn’t thicker than the other. Very nice steerhide. Only difference in the cut is the Oakbrook isn’t as tapered but both are V shaped, have wide shoulders and are short.
