Another Grail jacket! I know, another Grail jacket. How many could one person have need of? Isn't there only one Grail?

I have pursued these vintage short wool half-belts with limited success. They are much harder to find than a Vintage leather jacket. This Hercules is late 30s.

Ordered a jacket this weekend from an American shop. It’ll be a perfect 3-season jacket for non-daily wear and now I know enough about fit to order custom. I haven’t seen any mention of this leather in the annals of the leather jacket internet so I’ll make a thread when it comes.

Down the line I’m thinking of a brown car coat for next winter but that’ll take a lot of planning. I don’t see any car coat patterns from the makers that really do it for me. This one from Flat Head comes close so I might modify the hell out of an existing aero pattern and order in Tobacco Badalassi. I had asked the Whitefeather guy about his car coat but he doesn’t have hides right now.
Edit: I also like RRL’s car coats with the chest pocket. But I also want the buttons along back to give it a vintage/Art Deco vibe.

That black police jacket on the middle left is just spectacular looking!

That friend is from San Francisco Ca. The eldest of my Ralphs-Pugh family at 83. One of the most interesting leather jackets I have owned. Steerhide.

The Californian would have looked great hanging in your closet it would not have hung so well on you.

The Phillips 66 is quite a beast. I will have to measure it. Got be a 46/48

What a fine friend it is! That's a great one indeed! Hands down the best police jacket I've ever seen, old SF cops sure do know how to style it up! I hope something my size turns up, if not I will probably look into replicating that jacket with JL.

The finish/leather is what makes this jacket so unique. I'm not even sure what color it is. It does not have a Ralphs-Pugh label instead a Fashion Clothes San Francisco. Probably 1938. I identified it because it is the same pattern as the brown jacket next to it with is a early 50s RP. You are correct, it is a very stylish comfortable cut, unique to RP.

I always liked the CHP straight zips but this one struck hard. What a beautiful jacket. I would definitely keep an eye out, I can certainly rock that Minus the belt loop and the badge holder. What a cool design and a perfect jacket. I hope it fits you well good sir!

I've seen that before and what a gorgeous looking jacket! It's a tad big on the shoulders for me and the sleeves are about 2" long for my short arms lol

It’s so hard finding anything in roughly our sizing. Well, they exist but it’s either shelling out a lot for customs or coming across a miracle vintage find. I feel you! Haha

Lol so true. Yes, it's hard to find the one that could work or you'll find something that needs repairs (don't want to really deal with that) or those stores at bails (but it has weird creases). The vintage game is a hard one and I don't really like buying and selling stuff to. That's why I always go custom but my recent otr Japanese made jacket makes me think it could work for me,
