Nice Trio! The last one, with full belt, is most handsome. The Brent, early 60s? My size so I hope they appear for sale..I really like the late 50s/early 60s jackets.

The leather on that last one looks really nice.

The jacket is a two-tone western style halfbelt made from super thick deerskin (I think) with suede accents. The jacket is really heavy and I love the styling. Not sure of the date / era of this jacket. It was custom made for someone.
The tag on this one is illegible in that photo but it reads:
T & D (or possibly J & D) Leather Co. Newman Lake, WA
Apologies for the distracting dates on the photos. I need to figure out how to change the setting on my camera.

Fantastic jacket. Just a guess, but suede and leather combos were very big in the Sixties.

Two nice halfs! That deerskin is a nice styled hide. I've lusted after a few deer jackets. I have two Mid West made vest. What size is your deerskin? I like old/vintage with style and condition.

I too have seen some deerskin jackets in the past that I liked. But never with the weight or the rich brown color of this jacket. Most have been a pale tan.
As for sizing, this was made custom for someone (their name is on the patch) but it fits like a 42. One size too large for me, unfortunately.

I like that one too!
Any signs that a side buckle used to be present? I've been wondering if half-belts were ever designed back in the day with the half-belt but without side buckles - and this jacket seems to confirm they were. I like it.
