I didn't see a show us your new jacket thread. Apologies if I missed it. I'm pretty excited about my latest aquisition. I've been coveting this particular jacket for years, and one like it for many many years. It hung in my favorite vintage shop in town for years an no one ever bought it, and I could never afford it. SO today I asked the owner if she would consider a trading this one jacket for a pile of jackets and coats I no longer wear. It took a little bargaining, but she got 5 of my old jackets, and I got this one.
I am going to need to spend some money to get the zipper fixed, but other than that it's in excellent condition, even the knit cuffs.
Mostly I'm just showing it off, because I'm excited, but I'd love information about it if you have some. The tag said WWII vintage flight jacket. I don't know if that's true. I just know it's about exactly the style I've been wanting to own. I'd love if it were horsehide, but I suspect it's steer. Not sure how one would tell, there are no tags.
