M-1951. Thrift store find from yesterday. MINT condition. Seriously appears to have never been worn.
It has an aluminum zipper with snap-closure front placket, two drawstrings, and the bottom pockets are wool-lined.
Does anyone know how to date these? I included pics of the interior labels as...
Beautiful jacket. Here's proof that goatskin does acquire patina and more graining over time. I'd place this in the 1940s era, but @tmitchell59 would probably know more.
Fit pics, please!
I agree with you on all points. The fit also isn’t quite right, depends on the weight of the shirt I wear underneath. I may take up the FL 30-day challenge with this jacket to really smack the “newness” out of it. Once thoroughly broken in, I think it will be quite nice.
It's raining now and I put the mouton collar back on, so interior photos.
As with so many vintage jackets, the sleeves on the Lawrence are on the shorter side. I feel they're short on me and I'm certain they'd be short on you. If I'm wearing a long-sleeved shirt, it's tough to zip up the cuffs...
Thank you. You can fit a lot of coins in there. Or an entire pack of smokes.
The zipped pockets are quite large, too. The one next to the coin pocket is basically a large D pocket without the outline.
BUMP. Lovely vintage suede. Perfect for fall. Comfort factor is 10. Processed with DuPont Quilon, too. Mint condition--even the locker loop is intact. Ready to wear at a very reasonable price.
Very cool CR. Looks like a racer wore it too, based on the numbers on the back. I haven't heard of the Endura brand (or make?). What can you tell us about it?
