List of "Halfbelt jacket" movies

[regius]

Transplanting this question over from the Moving Pictures forum per Worf's suggestions.

Ok, this is a fairly specific request but not as nerdy as the title suggests. I just want a list of movies, from any era but preferably made before the 80s, about life in the 30s to 50s, and people actually wearing leather jackets that are not A2 and not motorcycle. I know The Wild One is a no brainer as there’s WW2 flight (sheepskin), cross zip Mc jacket, and an assortment of halfbelt, cross zip aviator jackets, even one town dude was wearing his straight up halfbelt and a fedora, but any others?

Grease was on TV last night, and one of the characters wears a very dark (seal) brown halfbelt jacket. It might be a cross zip.

Oh, and the Scorpion gang look like they've escaped from The Blue Oyster Bar...

Great idea for a thread. Seabiscuit is the movie that got me started on the whole halfbelt leather jacket craze, so this year it'll have been a 16-year obsession for me!
