    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Thanks, I don't have much knowledge of Crown zippers, I thought someone would know. How did these reproductions compare to the original? Is there one company that makes these various reproduction zippers? The ball and chain have no stampings. It is quite a good reproduction and does look...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Looking for information on this Sugercane jacket. I know they are Toyo like the Buzz Rickson label. This a rather stunning jacket. It appears to have a nos Crown zipper. Told it was from early 2000s. To me, it just presents itself as something special.

    The connection with WWII is meaningful to me. I have a mix of wools remaining, some interesting. I have to pick up this pile. You have an excellent collection, you have styles I do not have.

    The length is evident in your picture. Sleeves don't seem to run long on these wool styles. You will know soon. Haven't ever mentioned the "other" one. I have nothing like this yet. I need to sort through my wool jacket. I will do some videos .

    That is the surprise, mid length? The longer one is newer even with the same lapel front. I will probably get them all out, I have 2 others in a mid length

    This is a very popular style by California Sportswear, sold from the late 30s through late 40s. This was a chassis they used with a variety of tweaks. They changed the leather, the pockets for a variety of looks. I have this jacket in goatskin and calf skin. This jacket appears to be...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I found a similar jacket in the 1930 Shanhouse catalog. They are listed as 30 inches also. I will get of mine. I was surprised it is that short. A very fitted jacket with a flair. It does need some work.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Ok, then the brown is mostly likely a Hercules labeled jacket. I recall it is a bit longer. I would not be concerned with a nicely replaced period correct reproduction zipper. Look forward to more.

    Mine measures 24 inches in the back. I looked through several Sears catalogs for similar jacket and they are all listed as 30 inches, Just Beautiful. Could easily be from the 1920s. This is from the 1928 catalog

    I'm up to a 10 in envy! Beautiful jackets. You know my admiration for these short wool half-belts. The brown jacket seems similar to a Hercules I own. Your jacket is an old one. There is a date on those grommet zippers, just look. It is small. 2 numbers the second is year. The second...
