FS or FT Early Sears Oakbrook D-Pocket Leather Jacket Size 44?

[davefitch]

Sears Oakbrook D-Pocket, which I believe to be an early version based on the diamond zipper pulls (believe later version had loops) and Conmatic cuff zippers. I really dig the jacket, but I'm a solid 42 and unfortunately it's just slightly too big for me. The size label is missing, but it feels like a 44 or 46 to me. The exterior of the jacket is great, leather looks really nice and shiny, no cracking, zippers work perfectly, snaps are all in great shape. Believe the main zipper has been replaced a while back with a larger brass Talon. The corduroy lining has separated in a few places near the waist hem, but overall the lining is in good shape. Jacket is clean and ready to wear. I'd be interested in trading for something similar in a 42, or will sell outright for the $300. Thanks!

Back length is measured from bottom of collar. Best to use a cloth tape. The back is about 22”.

Nice jacket. Those conmartic are solid. I wonder what happened to the main zipper. Mine is an aluminum #10 talon. This jacket must be older than all of the similar label jackets. My guess it had an original #5? At any rate, nice jacket.

Thank you. Using a cloth tape as you suggested, I measure 23" from the bottom of the collar to the waist hem. I'll update the original post too.
