Wow, that really is a beauty! Of course it begs to be photographed with someone wearing it...

Unfortunately too big on me, that's why avoided posting the fit pics

Also, can you link to Terry's inspiration jacket?

It was in the what you are wearing thread, pretty sure @tmitchell59 can link his pics :)

I'm most often not a fan of goat hide....but your Sheeley goat is more than nice, it's gorgeous and that jacket has great style as well. You've had some exceptional jackets that have influenced me and this one sure got my attention..but I must resist..resist...resist...

Why resist? It is not that often that you find something you want now. That being said all credit for that jacket comes to @tmitchell59 for finding and buying the original one and @Maverickson for doing such a great job!

I was waiting for this jacket to go public. What a beauty and done in the original goatskin. Dave has some nice goatskin

The original is in this album.

This is a late 30s California Sportswear jacket in goathide. As you can see it is toast. California Sportswear did the most interesting jackets during this era.

Dave really labors to get all the details correct. Often these details are nothing you would actually see. They are in the construction. In this case the curved zipper.
