My camera upload cord has gone missing in the disaster that is my moving to a new place... so here's the stock photo of the latest jacket. 1950s, and flecked! It fits like a dream, although I'm not used to the more roomy style of the time period. Anyway.
BAM!

You must be the cruellest man on the lounge Kools... How do you expect me to get any sleep after seeing all this jewelry realising that I have found not one jacket that fits over years of searching in vain... (edit: forgot to add a smiley)

1940s suede leather leisure jacket I found today. Dual breast pockets! Has a plain back, great buttons and eyelets under the armpits. Has a pen mark on one of the lapels but the lining is perfect.

Looking at my 1940 Mont. Ward magazine (that has quite a few of those pleated front jackets), around half of them are plain back while a few have shoulder gussets. Only a couple came with belted backs.
