Oh man that is absolutely killer. Probably too small but I might have to take a shot. That is just killer.

Wolf HB wow. Messaged with seller—22” p2p. Too small for me. I’d go for it. @ton312 @tmitchell59 @Marc mndt @jonbuilder

ORIGINAL WOLF OUTERWEAR 1940s FRONT QUARTER HORSEHIDE HALF-BELT LEATHER JACKET | eBay

The lining is original and in great condition. This is the real deal, the jacket that all reproductions are looking to emulate. I wear a 42 jacket and this fits like a glove. Sleeve: 25.

I saw this posted on Facebook, the owner has had it 20 years and was asking if anyone knew much about it. I actually passed him Terry's feedback on his thoughts. I'm surprised he's selling it though as he seemed like a guy who was into vintage clothing.



It's a beauty!

I got the same sad news myself...... It looked to be a bigger size and I was messaging the seller as well. Looks to be in great condition. I have not seen a Wolf HB..... I have high hopes that a Lounger will land this jacket.

Wolf? I did not think of them when I responded. I've got a very similar HH jacket with no makers label that I attribute to Roughwear Clothing. It is not the same jacket as this Wolf.

Yeah I'm out. That's smaller than my Phillips 66, which is fairly tight as is. No way I can get in that.

@ton312 You have one of the Phillips 66 HBs?????????? I have one too that I got from Terry. Mine doesn't have the Patch. I didn't know anyone else that had one.

Indeed I do. It’s mint. No patch. Just the ghost:

Killer!! The collars are pretty damn cool. Mine is bigger and it's Steerhide. Tried to pick up the patch as mine is also missing but I haven't been able to nail down the exact correctly sized patch. Yours is in cleaner condition perhaps. Looks good man!!! Terry passed on these photos of some gas jockeys in their jackets and one of an original jacket with the patch on.....

What on earth is it about these brown Lesco hides? Instantly recognizable. Is there anything else like them?

The Black CRs are pretty good too (and soon in the classifieds.......)

That's a 50's Cal with the red logo label and conmar zippers, they've dated it as 80s. You don't see many with epaulets, i'm not sure i like them with. Also looks like the shoulders show some damage/cracking because of the epaulets.
