Hercules Halfbelt sz. 42” absolutely beautiful!

[ton312]

Selling to make room. A stunning Halfbelt in beautiful HH, the type you just can’t buy anymore. I’ve taken inventory over the weekend and decided I have too much everything. I’ll be throwing some crap on eBay but I want this fine piece to land with someone who can actually appreciate it. I’ve debated this sale. I know I’ll never find another. I guess I’m ok with it. Truthfully, leather is my last choice and I have more than enough to meet the need. There’s more coming….

-Sears Hercules (made by CSW) sz. 42”. Perfect example from the period. As good as it gets in old clothes. $450 shipped conus, $550 shipped across the pond.

The thing about this jacket that is so special is that it is wearable. I’m 5’11 205lbs and this fits me as well (if not better) than my repros.

Are you not feeling well? Let's kindly ask the mods to remove this thread and we'll pretend this never happened.

The minute I opened the Trego wool I knew something leather was done for. It could’ve been the Rockafella but I actually like that one more.
I still have two incoming and as I violently tried to stuff yet another jacket into my closet I had to take stock. One thing I won’t do is lower the price or fling it to eBay. I have other junk to move for that.

I'm with @Marc mndt --- Mods please move this post to the "YOU NEVER SAW THIS CUZ IT DIDN'T HAPPEN" Thread............

I don't know what's worse, Ton selling a grailish piece that he was overjoyed to get just a short time ago, or knowing for sure now that he's my competition in the quest for Western Wool.......... The Wool Quest is tougher but more rewarding.......

What a day and it ain't even noon yet............

Those are bitchen. I have seen them for a few years and liked them but the sorta sportcoat style gave me pause. I let several slip away and now they are much higher priced and harder to find. The ones I passed on were a blue and a purple.......!!!!! UGHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I love the scallops.......

Now you can use yer Herc monies to snag another one or MAYBE 2 if you are willing to lie in wait........
