I’ll check the measurements again if you like as my Mrs did these.
I scoured the internet for this one. Truly a beaut but likewise, I don’t wear it enough! Thanks for the comment
Hi guys,
Having a clear out. These are eBay links so happy to drops the 12.5%
open to reasonable offers. The golden bear is really mint outer, lining a little work. A & P outer is great, just patina. Skinnerland is like mint, nicest you’ll find and with one nick. Buying a house hence selling...
Hi all. Relisting with better pics.
This coat is super clean. One top coat nick as pictured. Beautiful Horsehide. I’m a 39” chest. Standard 40 fit. This is more like 42/44 sizing. Lining is like new. Swedish crest on wool. Selling as I hardly wear it. This is a heavy piece.
Measurements in...
Hi guys,
I bought this in the winter and just can’t justify keeping it due to lack of wearing it, and I need some cash. It’s an immense heavy coat, fully wool lined and with Swedish insignia on the lining. For anyone familiar with these it’s the size 2 but I’ll post pics with measurements soon...
cheers Jon/will.
I bought a leather glue and have set it down and it’s hardly visible at all now. I’m treating the whole coat to some leather honey and it’s coming up great. I’ll finish it off tomorrow.
not sure how long term the fix will be given its wear buttons rub but I’m hopeful. Thanks...
it certainly was. I’ve bought some bostik leather glue and I’ll get my leather honey out and treat the whole jacket as well. Add a little polish to the areas as well.
many thanks guys
ps. Yellowfever I checked out the vanson Luftwaffe. Certainly a belter
Dear both,
thank you for the fantastic feedback. This jacket is made by Skinnarland - I checked for gettskin notes etc and wondered if steerhide. The jacket is like new and obviously vintage and I paid £250 (most listed are around £350-400 and I returned one the week before that was way more...
Fellas, much obliged thank you!
Yeah it’s annoying but I think worth going for the fix. Open to any other other suggestions but I’ll look into what I need - is that epoxy resin?
wishing you all a great weekend, stay well!
I didn’t mention I think my nail caused this mate. I dug in by accident I think (numb hands). Thanks for replying just debating best fix/cover with the bit of top coat ‘hanging’
pretty sure horsehide - super heavy and thicker than Vicenza on my aero - the back has broke in like horsehide too.
I think it was dead stock as looked hardly used but yeah there is the odd mark, nothing major. It feels like horsehide but is softer than my Vicenza aero (slightly) - but that’s only a few years old. believe me I put it under a lot of pressure so could have torn it... but it has me wondering...
Hey guys,
just after a little advice. So, I bought a like new vintage Swedish horsehide trench. All good except I took in out on a few minus 2/3 nights and on one forgot gloves and my hands got so damn cold I couldn’t close the buttons again.
So I put a lot of pressure and pushed the button...
I think I’ve received a dead stock maybe 50s swedish horsehide jacket, it has crown insignia and is by Skinnarland; it came from a military surplus but he didn’t push any history on me. It just looked a great jacket! And the length was my main reason, my Irvin doesn’t keep my legs warm and the...
