Haven't looked at the Etsy jacket recently, but I would guess this one is just like it. Has the same label, both Horsehide, both made around the end of the line for RP jackets. There is another on ebay also appears to be same model.

By this time, late 40s, this seems to be their most popular/common model.

I'm working on the Ralphs-Pugh Collectors Guide when this shows up, so had to have it for examination and picturing!

More RP information just came to me this week from my closet, so stay tuned for more.


As soon as I saw that jacket I was in buy mode. As soon as I saw the size, I knew it had Terry's name on it!! Can't wait for the examination report and pics. Terry, you can justify this purchase as PURE RESEARCH for the RP Guide. We know you only bought it for the "Research"!!! :p:p:p:p:p

Yes, all about the research! Nothing compares with having the jackets in hand.

Size does not always matter when doing research!

I just finished writing you a message.

Were size 38/40 good wear ever made?! :) I swear I’ve never seen one that could fit me.

I cant imagine that they weren't, but I assume that's a really popular size especially internationally.. its my opinion/observation that most GW fit smaller than tagged, so you may want to look at 44, 42, etc.. this one is labeled a 46 but the seller says it fits like a 42?? so who knows.
its quite rare to find one in size 48 and up too..

Its not an original, and its not a well known repro jacket maker, but the jacket looks pretty good in the image shown. How decent of a price? I wouldnt go much over $200

It looks nice yeah, the lining has holes around the collar like many A2, 175e but can probably go down to 150
