Beat up, but should be serviceable for the coming winter at school. The price was right, too, at $10 for the coat, pants and matching hunting cap.

It came today- a couple tears with old repairs, a bit of a wool and woodsmoke smell, but nothing a bit of cleaning and time with a needle can't fix. For ten bucks, I got myself a heck of a practical jacket. The pants even fit, though I don't know if I'll ever have occasion to wear them.

But strangely, most here seem to think they're not so cool...

Tough looking jacket at a good price. I wonder if they would make it in black or dark navy blue.
 
Here's a plaid original that i've got up in the Classifieds right now. In really very very nice condition. It's massive size 45-46.

This shows the buckle and the damage to the belt where it feeds through the buckle.

Detail of the belted back area. There are 4 pleats up above the belt. Nice detail.

Killer-goriller! What would those norfolk-like straps be called that come down on the front chest?

Sorry these are as dark as they are... BUT what you've got here is an original vintage shawl collared, standard issue railroad jacket. I'm not 100% sure of the exact time these started or finished being produced, certainly 20's if not way before through possibly 50's...?

It is unlined, but made of such thick, heavy wool that it can withstand virtually any weather. The 4 external pockets are lined with horsehide and there are segments of horsehide on the inner sleeves and thinly around the outer cuff. It is beltedback with no pleats.

That's a nice one, Mike-
Reminds me of the one I want to buy from River Junction.

Thanks! I'd love to check out one of those River Junction ones in person. I know Will mentioned they were pretty heavy, but this original coat is MAJORLY warm! Several Japanese companies have made a version of this one. But I can't imagine they are really intended for zero degree weather.
