Something extremely right and spohisticated about the proportions and details of this models. Probably my favorite of this style of jackets.

"This vintage leather jacket was made in the late 1940s by Kit Karson Indian Scout sportswear. It is made of goatskin, in a half-belt cossack jacket style. The distinctive pleats of the pocket conceal handwarmers with the flapped cargo pockets. The jacket has a pin lock bell shaped Conmar zipper."

Notice the difference in spelling. A dizzying display of labels.

I have eBay searches under both Karson and Carson. Wide a net as possible. Cool jackets for sure. Jackets with the label tend to be distinctive, with their own bit of flair. Always too small for me. Except this Carson.

When I saw the jacket, I thought 60s. The liner reminds me of those nice fidelities I have. One of my favorites is the very restrain "cat eye" angle of the front pockets. Funny, the angle almost is unnoticeable and lead me to believe it was a production discrepancy. But I have seen other fidelities with a much noticeable pocket angle.

Not many can keep up with your searches. Maybe Marc.
