Paper thin looking but with this design, how could I not.
I saw this one on Depop the other day (tiny size) and of course went through the typical childlike fit of “why can’t this stuff ever show up in my size”.I like it, especially the brown color, stitching and shoulder caps!
The thin leather wouldn't bother me, you can at least wear it on cool spring and summer days and always look good!I saw this one on Depop the other day (tiny size) and of course went through the typical childlike fit of “why can’t this stuff ever show up in my size”.

So when I saw a 42” I had to give it a shot. I know the site here is golden age but I am firmly in the 70’s pig iron age now. LOL.

Thank you!Roughwear Clothing 2 way pocket. Here it is with the Hercules label and lighter lining with an Aviator collar. I wanted that jacket, you did well even with the stitches. The lining is probably an order for that retailer
My jacket has a Talon sunrise zipper. The jacket is sold. I would guess 1941. The jacket was sold before I knew of the date code.
Your jacket appears to have a changed the zipper. The pull that is pictured is a 50s. I can't really see the zipper stitches. An original zipper could have been several configurations. The gather sides indicate a war time shortage c.1943 in contrast to mine with the metal parts, probably pre-war.
I forgot to download the pictures of your jacket and stunned to realize it was not an Aviator, but a straight zip. Your jacket goes back to the simpler front design of the pre-war jackets.
These 2 way pocket jackets were a staple in the Roughwear line being produced with Windward, labels, Admiral Byrd labels, and Hercules labels from the late 30s through the later 40s.

Then the Variation as @jeo pictured above. That jacket style is patented and produced during the same time also with a Roughwear label.
Pretty much a run down on the popular Roughwear style jacket. The early model came in brown, suede, some tweaks. The 40s jacket I have only seen in this Brown color.
Schott perfecto 613 gray leather
Made in 2001. Zippers are talon.
