Got this black Sears Hercules HB. Seller says it's 60s.

This leather label with jagged edges was used only for a short period, I've seen it in the 1949 catalog. Definitely not 60s.
There's very few 60s halfbelts in general. The style become out of fashion in the late 50s.

I have my doubts. I know for a fact that the leather label Sears D pocket are 40s but I am not sure about HB. Will see when it arrives.
Looks very similar to one Terry posted in #2

A couple weeks back I made my first post here on the lounge trying to identify my dads old jacket, so I could size up. I wore it most of the time, from 14 to 21, then that final growth spurt hit.
Y'all were very helpful, and im happy to say I found one of the two potential brands in my size on ebay!
Will post fit pics when it arrives, along with comparisons of my dads jacket.

Thank you. Been looking for a black HB. Saw this listed on ebay by a reseller so went to the source. For 250 bucks + shipping within Asia, not much to lose.

Wow. For $250, if it fits you killed it.

Congratulations, they make a great jacket. I picked up one of their MA-1s earlier this year and it has become a go-to work jacket this winter.
