RARE FIND!!!! Vintage 1940's Half Belt Californian Horsehide Leather Jacket

Hello all. Just doing some research on this style, and hoping the person who bought this one can send me a PM, and answer a few questions. Thanks!

Maybe PM Bigsak22.

Are you aware that this jacket was sent to Bill Kelso Leathers for copying? They sell a very nice version of it. They can probably answer some questions too if it comes to that.
