Thedi uses buttons rather than a zipper on their similar style.

I prefer the buttons.
I meant Monarch.
The zipper on The Duke ends at the bottom of the lapel. He has it in Victory Horsehide for £1,850, @tmitchell59 posted his recently.
I went back to look at the "Snake" again...
Turns out I was wrong on the price.....ready....
$3750!!!!!
$3750 is absolute madness. That said...wow, what a cool jacket. Pick of the liter.
Absolutely. Everywhere - but not in NYC. It's O'k for NYC))

Are there any labels in the "Snake" jacket?
Just funny german song from late 80s about NYC, funny pricing from NYC has reminded about that... don't know why))
Unfortunately- no.

Thanks. Nice write up. The "Snake" jacket looks very much like the BK Duke, smaller collar.
The black "Snake" jacket reminds me of a Levi jacket. A Vintage jacket is this style is fairly rare, at least to find one for sale. It looks to be in decent condition. Looks to be a triple marked Talon zipper. Probably late 30s. Depending on the size it would bring a good amount of money at auction, though no where near their asking price.
Terry, does your zipper go all the way up, or does it stop at the lapel flap?
As far as I could tell, the "snake" jacket was post war. The leather was too thick for a 30s jacket IMHO. The front drop was cool, and it balanced out the short back which was probably 23 1/2"

Those prices are nothing rare I'm afraid to say. Just take a look at the japanese vintage stores or blogs. They constantly sell those kind of jackets for those prices. They travel to the UK, USA and they buy cheap (Cheap as in the prices we pay here ~$400-$600 for a cool one) and then they sell them for triple the price or more in Japan.
