Ha, I missed the missing section of the flap. Nice catch. I saw the size and moved on.

Not for nothing but is yours wool lined? If not it’s a very different jacket quality wise. Not least of which the HH is much nicer on the older Kits, Wolf, etc.

The original advertising for this jacket

I really liked those "eago" D pockets. Back in the day, they had the best Buco repro. I did own one of them. Mine was thick and very high quality. I had a size 42. Mine ran smaller. Later, I got a Schott, for about the same price. Eastman reproduction is several notches higher than the Schott. Now. the same is still true.

I look forward, it is a worthy jacket. I've never seen one like it, close. The front piping design has a unique effect on the pockets. There are various variations on this front theme in this time frame c.1939. The Front yoke? is unique and I believe telling of the maker. The cuff tell a story. Very similar to California Sportswear, but not, maybe Block in the Bay Area.

maybe a Pony hide, I've seen calf skin in this time.

Did you purchase this one?

CSC Calf Skin 1939 the front design they used and tweaked.

The front pair of yoke is in fact “yoke”, they are two pieces joined at a seam, I thought they are cords but it’s not.
