30's Leather jacket

It was small enough to fit me! I love the back. Obsessed with 30's jackets these days.

I bet it was actually deerskin

I needed to wait until March 1, the next pay day, to buy this BIN bloomers pattern. Someone use snatched it up. What kills me are the secret pocket and the 32in waist.

I lost a mail order pattern for a Robin Hood hat about a week back. I was positively sick over it!

Jetgirl, a friend of mine has a leather jacket with the same label as the brown one up for sale in her Etsy Shop, but it's cream. She also thinks 30s/40s - nothing more specific. It is often very hard to date them as styles changed slowly.

I *knew* I'd seen that label before...

Awww SHOOT!!!!
(I cleaned that reaction up, btw.)
Kamikat...I would have paid you to make me a pair of those! I would have walked from PA to MD for those and taken you out for hardshells and drinks before I returned home. That's how good those little bloomers would have been.

I'm sorry somebody swiped them.

Did you contact the seller, she might have more available.

There is similar one floating around on eBay but it's much smaller. I was thinking about trying to alter your pattern to a more bloomer-like shaped leg. I'm really hesitant to grade anything with a crotch seam. I've tried in the past, but it never comes out well fitting.

Ive bought from her before (her or her daughter). She often has multiples.

gosh, that is STUNNING.

that sucks, i feel for you

Thank yah Annie - That's the first one I thought I might get that would actually fit. I often have to go for larger sizes to fit my bust (I'm not huge, but big enough). Ah well. I'm sure other beauties will pop up in the near future.

I feel your pain, LD. They are nice buttons.

I need some navy buttons and those ones in the bottom Left corner look just the sort of thing I'm after too.

 

[SayCici]

So beautiful, would've loved to have this for my birthday!

 

[23SkidooWithYou]

^^^^^^
Gasp! That is truly beautiful.
Total bummer.

That's an amazing piece of social history LD, I would have bid on that if I'd known it was available.
