I like to think of my steerhide 1950s Windward as a black version of the brown De Niro jacket. Although mine is belted and has the piping across the top of the chest. Close, anyway.
I don’t think I’ve seen a clear shot of the back of De Niro’s jacket. Is it missing a belt, by chance?
Thanks for your nice comments. Based on the zipper, I think it's 1950s. The style is one that I believe carried over from the 1940s, so maybe the jacket itself is early 1950s?
I love that story about the girl in the gas station booth noticing your jacket and telling you so over the loudspeaker.
That kind of recognition from the fair sex is priceless.

Rare Sandor's (pre-Brooks?) version of the PJ-27:

Cool jacket as shown in “The Irishman.” Wondering what brand that old horse could be. The brown jacket with chambray shirt and white tee is an unbeatable combo.
I've given my Schott 613SH about 30 days of wear, having missed a only 2-3 days since my commitment. I wore it all day long for about half of those days and at least a few hours on the others. It has comfortably molded to my body and become softer. Graining is emerging slowly.
