1930s The Real McCoys Leathertogs Horsehide Leather Jacket in Size 40

[casterfield]

Up for sale is a spectacular horsehide jacket in somewhat of a hybrid style. It almost seems like a cafe racer yet it also has pockets more reminiscent of an A2. The details on this are insane -- from the checkered lining to the caramel zippers to the repousse (I think I'm using that term correctly) on the buckle, it's truly a masterpiece of a jacket.

Having said that, I look like an absolute buffoon while wearing it, and therefore it has to go. Asking price is $600 (plus shipping) OBO.

1. Here are the measurements (from Kanemakijisai):

Note that these are lifted from the merchant I purchased this from, Kanemakijisai. I can post a photo of me with the jacket to prove I own it if needed. The condition of the jacket is the same as when these photos were taken, as I have not worn it out at all; I've merely tried it on.

wondering what kind of horsehide they used that has such crazy grains throughout.

I've been looking for the two tone version of this, in 42 or 44. Any leads on an example for sale, if anyone has any, would be appreciated.

Nice jacket! Like Guppy, if it were larger we’d be talking.

I feel like I've seen a couple on Rakuten, but that was a year ago and I'm unsure of the sizing.

Yes, I've been looking there. Nothing recently, and nothing my size.

Wow very cool. I can’t decide if I’d prefer it with a shirt collar instead of the stand collar.

The grain is really strikingly beautiful.

Would you mind providing those fit pics?

 

[casterfield]

I’m pretty terrible at this, but here are a couple of pics: one open and one zipped.

 

[Mrfrown]

Thanks for providing. I’d be interested if the collar was different.

In any case, beautifully made interesting piece. GLWS

Bump!

Nice jacket, and your fit photos are very good. Great grain & intersting detsails. Never seen one quite like like this one. Rather too small for me, but GLWS

 

[casterfield]

Thanks! Yes it's a great piece. It's just not my style unfortunately.

 

[casterfield]

Bump!
