A 1947 Sportclad. I found these pics while searching my files. The nicest leather I have ever encountered on a vintage jacket for sure, as nice as any new leather I have owned. Very much like Shinki.

This was purchased from the nephew of the original owner who bought it and never wore it. Size 46 tag in pocket.

Here is a thread I did on this guy.

Just amazing, museum price. Do you think the thread is cotton or poly-cotton/nylon blend? The jacket must have been stored carefully too.

Terry the Sportclad is outstanding and pristine. That back panel is amazing and when blown up unbelievable.
Love seeing this one.

I would like the help of your collective knowledge regarding the condition of the coating.
I will start a post with some pictures, your thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated.
