I not only love the cut of the jacket - the height of his waistband is also impressive!!

All from 1930

Wool Gaberdine, whipcord ?

sorta cut like a early halfbelt (without the halfbelt) Tapered waist, Thick fabric, longer in front than back with a slight dip front bottom.
Diffrent from what has been posted so far, But this is not like a Ricky Jacket more early work feel.
Just some quick sloppy pics, would get the better effect being worn with high waist pants,

There's at least 6 jackets here I'd buy if they were in my size. I've been watching a lot of Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents lately...lots of great jackets in those shows!

Great thread. I love these jackets. Lost Worlds new 1930's Test Jacket could probably be done in wool.

Maybe 1940s, but more likely 1950s. American.

These jackets (and the movie"Seabiscuit") are what prompted me to order the HB I had made in the Waterfront pattern I posted a few weeks ago!:eusa_clap

I love Aero too, but let's keep this thread "vintage only!"

GREAT jackets everyone. The two-tone ones are knock outs!

Here's a wool gab number, not mine unfortunately but would love to have one made like it. Dig the collar and the inverted pleat on the back! Unfortunately I can't remember where I got the pics from originally, but I was sure to keep 'em in my reference file!
