FS - NorShor Leather horsehide half-belt - size 42

[Man of Vintage]

Up for grabs is a NorShor half-belt made from Horween horsehide - the leather has some phenomenal grain throughout. The main zip is a NOS Conmatic. Jacket is in practically new condition - tried on once, found it to not fit me - I'm a 44-46, this fits like a 42, or a tight 44.

Asking $470 (includes shipping) anywhere in CONUS. Payment via Paypal "friends style" preferred.

Measurements while zipped:

Pit to Pit: 22.5"
Shoulder seam to shoulder seam: 19”
Shoulder seam to sleeve cuff: 24.5"
Back of collar seam to bottom hem of jacket: 24.5”
Hem width: 20.5

PM to claim and I will send my PayPal email.

It's not going to fit me either, but I wanted to say that jacket is gorgeous, and has an awesome hide. Someone is going to get a fantastic jacket! GLWTHS, Rockabilly.

To anyone eyeballing this jacket...I own the exact same one (I even did a short write up on it so look it up here on Fedora Lounge). I will tell you to BUY IT NOW!!! The jacket is second to none! Good price too!

THAT is a beauty sir!! And very very well photographed indeed. Good luck with the sale, it's sadly not in my budget presently.

That's a beautiful jacket for a hell of a price. Sorry it's too small for me.

Damn that is NICE. I almost think I could squeeze into it. 22.5” is probably a bit too tight to zip...for that price though it’s almost too good to pass on. Won’t come around that cheap ever again. Calculating...

Seems a bit short and tight for me...6'1, 195, but damn its pretty. So tempting

Hello everyone, I'm the lucky new owner of this fine jacket. Below are some fit pics and a comparison with the real deal, my 40'/50's halfbelt (I believe a Californian) that I've been wearing for the past 10 years. The vintage jacket is just bit big for me now after some recent weight loss, but I doubt I'll ever part with it.

 

[Man of Vintage]

That NorShor fits you damn well. Wear it in good health!

 

[bretron]

Looks too big, let me help you out

 

[Kennyz]

Nice!!! Congratulations, Kunja.

Both jackets (vintage HB and GW Ventura) look to be bigger than needed to fit perfectly, it's more noticeable from the back (in a matter of sizing). Vintage HB fits a bit better despite being even bigger/roomier.
Both jackets are very nice by itselves, but each would fit much better if to get in correct size.
P.S. @Kunja, I might help you with both, if @bretron changes his thoughts - please don't hesitate to PM me)

 

[Kunja]

Ha! Probably right but I intend to keep both! Cheers K

And that's smart decision Sir!
Congrats anyway, nice jackets both. I esp. like the vintage one, that's a really cool piece of history.

Gotta love when the vultures start to circle. I understand. I was circling too. LOL. Great jackets @Kunja!

Coming from someone who has also lost a significant amount of weight recently several of my jackets I feel may be a size to big but to be honest I like them like that I’m not into sausage tight fits I much prefer a looser fit when it comes to certain styles, end of the day if you feel they fit and are happy that’s all that matters
