1950s Sears Steerhide Hercules Square Pocket - 40/42

[Will Zach]

Square Pocket Steerhide Herc I got from Terry some time ago. Lining was replaced with one with wool backing I got from Greg Field, quality stuff, also in sleeves. A great lightweight jacket for colder days. Asking $260 shipped CONUS, PP FF.

Pit to pit - 22
S2S - 18.5
Sleeve - 24
Back - 24.5

Cool jacket!

$240 shipped CONUS. A really nice jacket, light but warm due to quilted wool lining.

From the pic with the tape this looks like it’s 25.5” back, is that accurate? I’d be I interested if that were the case! The one I had was absurdly short 23.5”. Sleeves on yours look longer too.

The back is 24 1/4-in The tape did not lay flat on the pic, I used a steel tape to remeasure. The sleeves are 24-in straight down. You won't fit into this jacket, Ton. This jacket is for a guy 5-9 to 5-11 and up to 160-170 lbs by my reckoning.

Sigh, appreciate the honesty! It’s a great example of the style, particularly with the fresh liner. GLWS.

Is this still for sale? Would be interested, would need to add shipping to N.Z if you're willing to do so. Cheers

 

[Will Zach]

Still available. I just quoted someone shipping to Sydney, which was $113. Shipping to NZ should be similar, but I can check.

Magnificent jacket and I'm glad for your size warning to Tony because I would have tricked myself into buying it otherwise.

 

[Will Zach]

I would have told you the same thing.

I would have told you the same thing.

I know, I meant if I hadn’t seen that I would have felt bummed about missing out, lol.
