FS: Black Himel Bros. Canuck

FS: Black Himel Bros. Canuck

It is with great reluctance and hesitation that I offer for sale my beloved Black Himel Canuck. The only reason I am selling the jacket is because it is too tight on me. The black vegetable/pit-tanned, aniline dyed Shinki horsehide is stellar – robust and sturdy, yet pliable and wearable. The craftsmanship is second to none. The jacket is in great condition. I wore it approximately ten times.

The following are the dimensions for the jacket (plus or minus a quarter inch):

Chest (P2P): 20.5 inches
Shoulders: 17 1/8 inches
Back length (measured from base of collar): 27 3/4 inches
Bottom hem: 22 inches
Sleeve length: 24.5-25.25 inches (straight measurement, left sleeve is slightly longer)

New, the jacket sells for $2,450: https://himelbros.com/collections/types?q=canuck . I will sell my Canuck for $895, plus actual shipping costs and Paypal fees (buyer is responsible for risks during shipping). That is less then 40% of retail.

Lovely Canuck, Craig - those French seams are exceptional.
Good luck with the sale.

Is the jacket actually a size 42?

The specs you gave don't match the specs for the size 42 on the Himel website.

Perhaps this was a custom piece?

Custom piece. Please use my measurements for reference.

Ah man, bummer. I was holding onto some slimmer of hope.

I really want to fit into this thing, but unfortunately, it would be an expensive mistake.

Oh well, good luck with the sale.

That looks very much like a Freewheelers Brakeman, as it lacks the horizontal seam of the Canuck.

It was a pictures of vintage jackets thread here in the lounge...

Thank you, I’ll go hunting. I’ve recently bought a Brakeman and this is a dead ringer.
