Rich Sher Steerhide Half Belt 44 Police Jacket 1950’s

[Corky Corcovado]

Love this. Always been a little big on me. Making space for a new Piece. I got this for a ridiculously good deal, I need cash so I’m offering it for a good price to TFL before going balls out on eBay. The liner seems hardly used, very little wear in general. Badge and patch holes on chest and arms. One piece back with lovely graining throughout.

OOOOOOHHHHH that is really tempting! Little worried about the back/sleeve length....Man that is a stunner though and would be a perfect black counterpoint to the brown Westbury!

Yeah, sleeves are vintage guy arm length, haha. Just thought I should alert you!

Great jacket. Sadly, a 24" back is a deal killer for me. The small jackets are expected with Vintage (I know this even though I still moan and groan when I find cool vintage jackets that are just small sized). But as Tony is illustrating, these are more agonizing because every other measurement works----but that back length........ dammit. I have had to draw a HARD LINE at 25" on Back Length. I just can't make anything work smaller than 25".

Anyway, excellent Rich Sher and it'll be just right for someone. Wish it were me.

GLWS!!

Hello Corky. Almost the exact measurements of my JL/Leatherman M200. Except the sleeve length.

I know you said you need cash— but how about a trade + some cash? Bates CR + $75. The CR’s P2P is 23”.

Edit:: Sorry- I just measured the P2P and it also is 23.5. I don’t think it will work for you, solely based in the numbers. Though it does have shoulder gussets and underarm footballs

In most cases I'd consider a trade, however, I'm directly funding another piece and need cash on this one. I am open to offers as always.
