Great jackets, though I’m finding this one quite unforgivingly athletic in cut! Along with Rivetts and Lewis, Kett also do a version of this pattern, though the Dobbs is the only one with the gap on the shoulder seam. I actually contacted Rachel a while ago to enquire about minor alterations to...
Too hot for a heavy jacket in the day but cool evenings mean a few summer opportunities for this Als (here with a Wrangler jacket that was daytime wear). I have cropped the cut offs out of sensitivity for the forum’s aversion to shorts.
I had fun cleaning this up a bit but the cut is too vintage (short) for me. Male zipper pin missing and two small holes, repairs to one of the belt loops which has been patched from underneath with leather and leather cement (pictures attached), priced accordingly.
£75 plus shipping...

I think I’ve invested as much time and effort as I am going to in refreshing this battered 60s Montgomery Ward. I’ve conditioned it, fixed a belt loop and a zipper pull and de-harleyed it. Replacing the main or sleeve zip would be more than the jacket is worth, but I think it’s a lot of fun as is!
