I have yet to see an original where the leather wears in such an intentional looking way, or where the leather wears before the lining at the collar, or the label, or other areas prone to damage when something's actually worn, not soaked and rubbed.

The plan was to make a run yesterday down to Dillon, in Southwest Montana. We stopped in Butte for lunch at the reopened M&M cigar store (founded 1890) and at a few antique shops. After a stop at Rediscoveries Vintage Clothing and a lot of shop talk with owner Brian Mogren, who's owned it since...

Like I say, it's near impossible to tell from an outside shot who the maker was on these, there were so many companies. It may be a Wards, but it's just as likely for it to be one...

No such thing as a job in architecture without a masters unless you want to be an intern drafting bathrooms and stairs for the rest of your life. Just the way the profession and licensing works.
Avirex did a repro M-69 in the '80s sometime, I want to say it had had some kind of cheesy un-related "commemorative" lining. Lindbergh or someone like that. Wouldn't surprise me if Cockpit's dusted off the patterns from that version.
Here are some originals. I wore the button front version as...
That was the company that turned into talon. They never made jacket zippers, but repro companies have made mashups based on 1930s talon teeth and stop boxes and 1920s pulls.

Originals generally go in the one to three hundred range and most I've seen are in very good shape. They don't come up all the time, but there's not much of a market when they do.
