This crusty durable just arrived. It’s going to take some work but it’s a fit! Some of the thickest HH I’ve seen on any vintage jacket. Loads of great detail, all Bakelite buttons are there, interesting mix of fabrics throughout and an original two way talon I’ve never seen befor. Needs a serious sleeve repair but this thing might end up being my crown jewel. I’ve started with the Obernaufs. Fit pic straight out of the box it was crammed into.

Haven’t oiled the back yet. But you can see it’s thirsty.

It’s gotten to the point that I can tell as soon as it comes out of the box. When I saw it was a size larger than the Herc I sent to Reg, I was thrilled! It’s a 42”. Tight but alright.
Perfect fit. These longer jackets sometimes have unflattering fits, this one looks like a fitted cut.
