Himel Bros. Cossack Jacket apx. sz. 40

[Mulceber]

I bought this jacket second-hand about a year ago, and it's beautiful...but I don't wear it. I'm more an A-2/G-1 guy. Time to pass it along to someone who will get more use out of it than I do.

Himel Bros needs no introduction. Together with Good Wear, they make some of the finest leather jackets in North America (although I personally prefer GW), and jackets like this routinely sell for 2.5 grand new. The person who sold me this jacket told me that he didn't think the leather was shinki, but it's some seriously beautiful stuff with some great character. The buttons have been replaced with vintage buttons, including some beautiful bone back-buttons. It's a beautiful jacket, and deserves to be more than a closet queen.

pit-to-pit: 22"
shoulders: 18"
back: 24.75"
sleeves: 26"


Asking price: $900 shipped in CONUS, paypal friends & family.

Pockets are made so that the flaps can be tucked in and still look presentable:

Nothing like sunlight to pop the skin a rocking jacket. This in a size 40 should be out of here fast!

Hi I sent you a message a moment ago

A superb looking jacket. Love the collar and color!

 

[Mulceber]

Jacket is still for sale. Happy to provide other measurements as well.

 

[BikerMan]

Bit too small for me. Lovely jacket though

 

[Mulceber]

Bump. Still available.

Bump; I've posted it on eBay as well.

Has it sold

 

[Mulceber]

Thanks for the interest. I've actually changed my mind about selling this one. It's one of relatively few jackets in my collection that aren't military and don't have knit cuffs, so it fills a niche.

I've been wishy-washy about keeping this one, but I really should sell it. So, it's back on the market. Any interested buyers can PM me.

Oh man, need about half inch shorter sleeves

 

[Mulceber]

I just measured the sleeves again, and it's more like 25.5", following the curve of the sleeve. Measured straight down, it's about 24.75 inches. Would be happy to measure the jacket again, if need be.

. Can I bother you to post a picture of the measurement from shoulder seam to sleeve end, straight down?

Can do - just need to wait for the wife to get home from work so she can hold the camera while I measure.
