Thanks guys! We’re safe. We actually live just about 5 miles east of all the mess pictured, and usually storms hit the mountains and split up bounce around and lose a lot of force. All of our electric/utilities come through there though, so we are last on list of getting service repaired. The...
So sorry for the delay updating this to “sold”. we have had some bad storms roll through this week and one knocked out the electric, internet and phone signal booster and has taken almost a week to get our poor service here in the mountains back to working order.
Jacket was sold first of the...
Understand. If it were in my range(44) it would be a keeper and I would be selling one of the others… these guys in the 38-40 range don’t know how lucky they are! ;)
I actually just edited the measurements in the ad after having a couple questions on it. It’s actually 24.5…. Trying to do too many things at one time…o_O
California Sportswear cross zip half belt in a solid sz 40. Made a new quilted liner from scratch using the correct original acetate material. Also completely refined all of the pockets as they tend to be dirty/nasty after 80 yrs.. really solid jacket! Would date it to mid/late 40’s by the Talon...
Not sure what this one is, label was missing. This has to be one of the oddest constructed jackets I’ve had in here in recent memory. I think much has to do with how thick the leather is. It’s heavy duty, probably 3.5-4 oz, or “lost worlds thick” for those familiar with that brand. Even the...
Made this one a few yrs ago testing out some materials/procedures. It’s very soft, top grain steer, 2.5-3oz weight. Liner is a vintage cotton backed with a layer of polartec fleece. It’s a very warm jacket with the fleece backed lining. I would put it in the same range as my B-2. I think in all...
Bought this one to make a pattern off of. Has been completely restitched, new liner & pocket insets. Hide is pretty beat up & well worn, but would be ok for an occasional wearer. Some of the questionable spots were reinforced while apart with some cotton material. Asking $125 plus the shipping...
Sorry, listed this while I was away from home, so didn’t have specs at the time.
Size tag in pocket has46 listed, here are actual measurements.

Shoulders 19.5”
Sleeves 25”
Length 24.5”
Here’s the label & size tag in pocket.
Werber 7823(aer) G-1. Tagged size 46, but fits more like a 42. This one was reconfigured at some time, assuming by the navy as I have seen two others done in an identical manner with new liner, cotton stamped size tag in place of spec tag & with the same blackened brass pull on nickel Waldes...
Original Block sz 42 that was my daily wearer for about 15 yrs. Just completely restored with new rayon liner, spec tag ( original included with jacket), correct rib rack knits & NOS Talon zip. Wouldn’t sell it, but just doesn’t fit me anymore.
Asking $750 shipped in the states, plus shipping...
This is the first copy made patterned from a worn out original dated to the early 30’s. I usually keep the first test jacket for myself, but my hands don’t agree with buttons anymore. Brand new, never worn. Hide is black goat, liner is plaid flannel with cotton twill for the sleeves. Buttons are...
