1950s Grais Steerhide Flightmaster

[Will Zach]

Well, I swung and missed on this jacket. Too large for me. This jacket was owned by three Loungers (including me), and it deserves to find a more permanent home. Substantial black steerhide, some minor repairs near pocket and interior lining. I think this jacket is pure 50's cool, and the wear on it is part of the coolness. Zipper original and works. I paid $150 shipped CONUS, asking for the same. S2S - 19", P2P - 21.5", back - 23.5", Sleeve - 24". CONUS sale only a this time.
To help you make sure the fit is good, I am 5.9 and 143 lbs and it was one size too large on me. Here's a perfect fit on our fellow Lounger below (thanks Bfd for permission to use pic). A bit like a Mulholland, innit?

Here are more pics from the latest Classifieds ad by @Joshua Holland. Hope it is okay to re-use them, if not let me know and I will take them down.

@dudewuttheheck this would be perfect for you.

Time for @Bfd70 to rectify the huge mistake of selling this in the first place....

This jacket is perfect.
Every time I see a true vtg piece likes that, has me wonder; When and why exactly did a chest pocket at such a easily accessible, convenient and overall, super cool angle fall out of favor and switch to that useless horizontal yawn-fest. One of those things I won't ever understand.

Yep. There's something so rakish and devil-may-care about a slanted chest pocket. Beautiful looking jacket- wish it was one size up. GLWS!

Yep, this jacket fits like a modern 40, you need a 42 and I need a 38, lol. Hopefully it fits someone here because it is a great jacket.

Yes, great looking jacket!

Someone asked to clarify - the jacket is black. Also, only CONUS shipping at this time.

It was a 3 jacket and a pair of boots week. There was a little BINWI with this one. Great jacket at a steal but I’ve a load of others I like and don’t get to wear enough.

I get it. But man that was as good a fit and style as one could hope for. New, vintage or anywhere in between!

 

[Will Zach]

Bump. That is how the jacket looks on me - acceptable with a wool hoodie layering I think but really needs someone who wears a modern 42 for a perfect fit.

 

[Will Zach]

Now on eBay, always for less at TFL. Remeasured P2P is 23" at widest point, the jacket is size Large, somewhere around a modern 42.

interested! but it migth be too big on me. my measurements are: shoulder 17.5, chest 21, back 25, sleeves 25.5. do you think it will work for me?

 

[Will Zach]

Hmmm. The shoulders on this jacket are definitely 19 inches wide, so that is 1.5" in difference. But the sleeves on the jacket are 24-24.5 (you need 25.5), so the wider shoulder width will help here. Pit 2 pit stretched is 23, seam to seam is 21.5. I would say that if you like your jackets pretty tight, it might be too big, like on me. If you can layer, it might be okay. I am 5.9 and 144 lbs, and can wear it with a thick hoodie, as on above pics.

Sold!

I'm a little late to the resellathon. No prob using the pics. Just hope it finds a good home! Wish it fit me better.

Thanks. Seems it was bought by a Japanese proxy service - on its way to Japan.

It'll probably get resold there for like $1000.
