FS: Vintage Brown Goatskin "Fonz" Jacket.. 42 / 44 ** Priced To Move**

[Technonut]

Hello Loungers... Today I am selling a 50's vintage brown goatskin jacket.

I was always looking for a true vintage "fonz" style jacket, and found it in spades a few years ago. Just check out the style and the nice graining of the deep brown goatskin. The leather is nice and supple.. The knits are original as far as I can tell, and in decent shape. The lining is intact, and in good shape except for some staining around the neck area. I tried to use a steamer to remove the staining, but it started spreading-out, and I stopped. I will leave it to the new owner to have cleaned, or just leave it be since it is not that bad.. Hey, at least it's sterilized now..

I usually wear between a 42 and 44 in jackets, and this fits me well. The measurements are:

Pit To Pit Jacket Zipped and Laid-Flat: 23 Inches
Across The Shoulders: 18 1/2 Inches
Bottom Collar Seam In The Back Center To Bottom Of Knit Waistband: 25 1/4 Inches
Sleeve Seam To Bottom of Knit Cuff: 26 1/2 Inches

***** SOLD******************SOLD**********************SOLD************

I know I could do better on the bay, but as always, I am offering it to a fellow Lounger first for a VERY fair price. It is getting more and more difficult to find vintage leather jackets like this in nice shape. PM me if you want it...

Just some pics of Fonzie's jacket for reference... The one I am selling is pretty close for a vintage 1950's jacket..

One difference is mine has a true one piece back. The one's used on Happy Days had a two piece back with the yoke seam across the shoulders. I guess my jacket could also be considered to be of the "Civilian A-2" type with slash pockets.. Especially in goatskin..
