Great jacket, I really love mine.

Apparently they tend to be well priced too.

This braided trim first show in the 1955 catalog in the young people section. Those jackets are listed as Horsehide. all the following years they are listed in Steerhide.

There was also a white lapel model, 1955

I would have gone for it, but I’ve been on a buying rampage the last couple of weeks.

I would have gone for it, but I’ve been on a buying rampage the last couple of weeks.

This is the largest of this size I have seen. I've got pictures of better condition braided trim jackets, but not in size 46.

I did not anticipate selling that quickly.

I was after to the Taubers gangster coat, but was trying to hide it until funds were available. @jonbuilder will be kind enough to post a full review when he has time.
