A Wool R-P ?!?
WTF? All these new revelations about my favorite maker are blowing my mind!
This is completely divergent from what I was told by the granddaughter- that the jackets were a bit of a side-hustle during the War Years.

Tbh I don’t know how an industrial supply company ever made jackets. But they did.

Great find, Marc. Didn't even know of this Canadian maker.

@Canuck Panda So there was a tannery in Cobourg, ON. There gotta be more. Little mystery unveiled. The search continues.

Vintage Horsehide Jacket from USA | eBay

Bought from the US as a present - unworn in the UK to date! The zip works but I have found a small tear to the male half of the zip, as shown. I should add that I am away from 10-17 August so there will be a slight delay in despatch.

Jake, the jacket looks great except that it just doesn't fit you in the sleeves but to be fair, a lot of things don't, something you often comment upon yourself. If it did, you'd look great in it. Honestly, the in the body, it does a lot more for you than many jackets I've seen you wear.

I can't care less about stitching, details, etc. anymore and just look at how a person looks in a jacket and you look good in this one.

Are you talking about the first or second jacket? I posted 2 different ones. I agree that the second jacket looks good on me (aside from the sleeve length), but the issue is that I can't move in it at all.

 

[Canuck Panda]

It make sense for Schott to bring custom sleeve length back…. Or have light repair service in their Schott stores like the Japanese Schott store. Sleeve length is an easy fix, like hemming pants.

That is until someone finds out who Durable was, license their name, start making Durable one star reproduction jackets, and ….

Just reduced by 30% to $910 on this size 40 J-24L. Replaced main zipper but beside that it looks in really good condition.

Snaps on the sleeve cuffs indicate 1950s, right? No yoke, either. Nice jacket.

I stand here informed...but unmoved. Of course I will wear a cape, the next time I'm at the opera .....in the 1940's. Totally kidding, whatever moves each person is excellent, and why TFL is the place to come and learn something!
