FS: 40s Seattle Woolen Co. Horsehide CHP Jacket - Rare Crown main zipper

[semolina_pilchard]

Up for grabs is this excellent 1940s horsehide CHP by Seattle Woolen Co. It weighs 2.9kg, has some amazing grain, and is in good condition. All zippers are the originals. The main zipper is a Crown and the pockets are V Talons, suggesting wartime production. It still has its label and the original lining.

See the photos for measurements.

This is a real collectors piece. Price is $1250 including shipping.

Amazing. That zipper alone is worth $300...Too rich for me, but GLWS. This is the endgame jacket in the vintage CHP game.

This SW is really easy to wear.

As I said - end game. This hide has got to be 2 mm thick.

It's a thick and grainy hide. The details are nice on these early CHP. I was wanting one for a while, and it was good news when semolina_plichard decided to sell his. This and the All Weather are the iconic jackets in this category.
