Few and far between, on this side of the Atlantic.
If anyone finds an original of this, they'll be facing a horde of collectors at their door!

anybody know when the short (just below the trouser waistband) jacket came in ?
in my U.S. catalogues (currently 1918-24, and growing) there aren't any, apart from a couple of 'jerkins / vests with sleeves' which are something different.

Must have coincided with (to complement) the trend of higher waisted trousers in the 1930s.

They started cropping up in the late 1920s and really hit their stride by the mid 1930s.

The wool looks like it has a really deep pile.

It's very much like those '30s alpacamelamadingdong overcoats. There's a content tag on it, mostly illegible, but it looks like it's about half new wool and half reprocessed wool.
Here's another old belt-back. Found a pack of Kool cigarettes in the pocket from 1944, so it hasn't been worn in a while.
