This UNBELIEVABLE UNIT of a coat just arrived. 1930's? (my assessment based on button loops not button holes as later examples had) Beck Northeaster Flying Togs Horsehide, wool and shearling lined Police coat in NOS condition. And yes I am going to wear this to get groceries later.....

Care to post a few extra photos of the jacket please...

Is there storm cuffs? Does the lining open at the bottom? How are the sleeves lined - wool fabric or wool fur?

I'm going to do a separate post about it when I get a minute, but quickly: yes storm cuffs, yes liner open at the bottom.
I am totally gobsmacked by this thing; it's totally clean. Zero flaws.

Wow! What a specimen - are you wearing the coat or is it wearing you? Regardless, I look forward to the thread this beast deserves. Definitely a winner - congratulations to you. BTW, is that huge collar Bear fur?
