SOLD

FS: Iconic Vintage 40s/50s Montgomery/Windward Horsehide Jacket
(fits size 38-40)

Offered for sale is my Vintage Windward made of brown Horsehide with black silk lining:



Size 38-40.
Measurements (approx.):
pit to pit: 21.75 in / 55.245 cm
shoulders: 18 in / 45.72 cm
back length: 23.5 in / 59.69 cm
waist: 18 in- 19.5 in / 45.72 cm- 48.26 cm
sleeves: 24 in / 60.96 cm (straight line)
25 in / 63.5 cm (along curve)

Features the most awesome patina. I have not conditioned it, but I can if the buyer requests. It has been re-lined with black silk, and it feels great! There are a couple of vintage repairs (see photos) which just add to the rugged coolness. Snaps are present if you want to add a fuzzy collar. Crown main zipper, shoulder gussets, and gathered waistband sides make this a classic sit-on-the-hips jacket.

I feel this jacket would best fit someone 5’10 or a bit shorter, but tastes vary.

Here is a gallery with lots of photos and pictures with the tape measure:

I got it for a fair price, so I figured I’d pass it forward.

I’ll keep an eye for you. I’ve done this successfully for other members in the past.

I got to keep one finger on the send button and another on my wallet. I believe we both are in the "38-40 club" on TFL and that club is as bloodthirsty as the "44-46 club", lol...

Thank you! That would be very much appreciated!

@dudewuttheheck your first foray should have been that Sportclad “d” pocket/MC jacket out of Canada that sold about a week ago. You love Shinki, you will love that hide. You appreciate great stitching and well-thought out details. Check, and check. Good luck. If you pick the right one first, you will be hooked.
