Interesting how this jacket used side zippers to tighten instead of laces. Effective but might be a bit expensive. This jacket must be a higher priced model in its day, it has more details than others. Unfortunately the belts were cut off right?
I have not encountered another jacket maker using this construction. At first I thought it was a non-original but then I found another. Both of mine are unlabeled as is the current ebay jacket. I have pictures of this style with a "made in Californian" Montgomery Ward label.
Yes, it would be more expensive to add two zippers.
This has the belt attached. All I've seen have a light weight lining. Yes, they are short
These jackets are late 40s early 50s.
