Wish this jacket was in my size. I'm a sucker for a Sears Hercules. Maybe a fellow Lounger can benefit from this incredible auction:

I saw that jacket and thought "WOW". I've always wondered where these type of jackets hide for 50 to 60 years.

That's a beaut! If it were 10-11 sizes bigger, I'd bid

Wonderful jacket, I agree.
It is quite similar to mine.

If I currently had the cash to drop on this I would, beautiful jacket.

I wish it were mine. I like how the side buckles are untarnished. I've never seen that before. And the leather has a beautiful patina, even though it looks unworn. Guess it doesn't need to be worn to get that look, just many decades of aging. Leather jackets just get better with age.

I love it, as well. I typically wear a size 38 Regular, but the measurements state that the pit to pit measurements are only 19 inches. Could that really be true? If so, this size 38 would never fit me.
