Vintage 1950s Sears Hercules Map Pocket MC Jacket 40/42

[tmitchell59]

Come and get it. These are the coolest MC jackets out there. You can have this one, I've got a size 42. Both are pictured in the photo album. I'll post the link to a thread on the Vertical zip Hercules.

This style was first produced by Appalachian Tanned and Tailored c.1947 during the post-war motorcycle boom. They were produced with the Hercules, Fieldmaster label and the Appalachian label. They were sold in Horsehide and Steerhide, both had removable belts some early editions had pocket in the back.

This steerhide edition is probably mid 1950s. All zippers work and are well sewn. The lining is excellent, the Steerhide is very grainy with a nice hand and fine color. No issues.

FIT:

I've owned several of these jackets and they all run about a half-size big. This 40 fits much like a small 42. I'm 5'9" 188 pounds in the pictures/video. I can easily get it on zipped and belted. My 42 just feels better.

The pictures/videos tell the story of the fine condition.
