    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts on my jacket! By any chance does Tanaka give any info about the jacket that BK is doing a repro of with the raglan sleeves (maker or other info beyond the decade 1930s)? It and mine are so similar that it seems possible they were either different iterations...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks for the info and kind words! Interesting, that Bill Kelso jacket is very similar. I do like the back on mine better; but his three-piece sleeves plus cuffs are nice - probably gives more pre-bend and taper than mine has. And I like the slightly steeper pocket angle on mine as well. I...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Inspired by ton's statement that vintage jackets always exceed the level of joy vs. new for him, I decided to go for it on this 1940s horsehide(?). In fact, I had just recently been thinking about maybe ordering a semi-custom from 5* and was also looking at a couple of very lightly worn ones on...

    Too bad it has such short sleeves (22" shoulder to cuff), otherwise I would have snagged it when I saw it a few days ago. Didn't think to share it here. Good call! He's got some nice jackets. Looking at another one of his listings, the Forest and Stream discussed above.

    Okay, just got pics and more info. Turns out the main zipper has been replaced with a brass YKK zipper. I assume that drops the value significantly from a collectors' perspective?? Chest zip is original. Liner looks pretty good - missing stitching at bottom front but easy enough fix...

I'll share as soon as I get anything, and would love to get more...
