I found a blauer police jacket with a suitable removable " mouton " collar for $39 shipped on the bay.


Initially I figured I'll score something cheap just for the collar then maybe use the jacket for work just to get my money's worth and avoid being wasteful , but I think it may prove to be quite a nice practical jacket that will definitely serve me well at work.

Just bought this Coat on the bay, dont know anything about it. Label says:

G. B. Conte wool mill
since 1757 in Schio (Italy)
Pure virgin wool


Brand is evidently "SALCO". Does anyone know anything about the brand or how old the coat might be? Looks 60s to me. Is it a good score? I Paid €80.

This Windward is in on a Windward tack to me thanks to a quick tip from a friend! This is one of my favorite styles, if not my favorite. A Roughwear Clothing jacket with a Windward label in Pony hide. This jacket, in subtle variations, was in production from the late 30s through the mid 1950s. They are seen with Admiral Byrd labels and pictured in the 1941 Montgomery Wards catalog. I also have this style in Wool and linen.

The Blauer police jacket arrived and I'm quite happy with my purchase.
The " mouton " collar is a great color pairing for my Taylor's CMPD and the blauer jacket itself is quite awesome.
It fits me great, and is fairly lightweight while seeming pretty warm.

I am still working out how to get that properly fitting to my jacket, but I think it's going to work out pretty well.

Dios mio... Where did you get this jacket? I have never seen one in black and with a police batch holder. If you have time, could you PLEASE share lining images?
It did not appear as if the lining is original. I’m hoping the jacket can be brought somewhat to life and worn occasionally.
