    Vintage Halfbelt Info

    Repro 1930s Sears Original Hercules jackets; whose is best?

    I think “Original Hercules” comes from the fact that Aero has their other style that had the name “Hercules” . Just a guess. Probably should update this thread since Good Wear has a new pattern more faithful to the original. My Good Wear Hercules above.
