I bought this jacket today on an offer from seller. I stumbled on it while searching for 70s leather jackets. The seller described it as 70s, the collar and pockets have a 70s vibe, but also a 40s vibe. Lack of a zipper really complicates dating a jacket.
Is it German? has a bit of that look too? The look also reminds me of Block jackets from the late 30s. The pockets that look like eyes.
It was not expensive so I took a shot at it. I like a good jacket mystery when I can afford it.
Looks like epulates are removed. (sorry for the spelling) Nice graining. Size 40/42

Whoa, that’s a dandy looking jacket Terry. It maybe a 70’s but it’s sure got a 40’s vibe. I love these vintage button ups.

Here is the Sears Topline in the 1943 Sears catalog. Button jackets declined in numbers with the advent of the zipper. Button jackets have a return in this catalog probably due to war time shortages/fears. Listed with Capeskin or Suede in this listing.

Button ups like mine and the Topline are somewhat scarce. The Zipper just made Buttons a bit old fashioned. I think mine is from the early 40s. The lining, the cuffs, the style, the heavily grained leather. I can't get German out of my head.

I snagged something similar. I’m going full suede I guess. Although this does have some finished bits.

Silton? They made some nice jacket. This was a popular style that is hard to argue with.
