50s Hercules upgrade,

[Jon Crow]

My 50s Hercules got a upgrade! A lovely 50s mouton fur collar, I've always done restoration and leather work, this jacket was a bit of a restore when I got it, I had some old lovely golden brown mouton left so away you go, kind of looks like a old battered m422a or G1 jacket now, I liked my Herc anyway, like it even more now

It looks good. I like the upgrade. Whoever did it, did an excellent job.

It does, the mouton adds a bit more interest, I sent a pic to the wife at work she said woah haha

Cool

Cheers, when it first arrived from Japan it had hardly any colour remaining either, was a work in motion

Nice work. The jacket does look like an older navy aviator jacket. I am going to create a mouton repairs and upgrades only thread. I would love to see if people like you contribute so that we can help out others with this popular "jacket upgrade".

I'd be happy to help out, and thanks, I think a Hercules is such a hard wearing and versatile jacket, I'm surprised Sears Roebuck never gave a option of a mouton collar

Came out great, congrats!

I’m a mouton collar fan. IMO you’ve done an excellent job of improving what was already a nice vintage jacket.

I really like vintage jackets, they have a soul in them
