[Monitor]

Here are some pics and the link to more. want to make sure folks can see them. Both LW truckers are in the album. Make a nice comparison. The 46 was like a coat compared with the 42.

Terry, this is something that's been bothering me since you posted these photos and now I gotta know. . . But what is that strange ghost seam on the left sleeve, in the upper right part of the photo? It's not there on any other photo because of course it should be there at all.

The Mysterious Ghost Seam revealed: I never noticed the seam.

ITALIAN LEATHER INDIANA JONES STYLE JACKET 44/46

Beautiful looking, fitting Indy Jones style jacket. I bought this because it looked so good. Didn't even think about the Indiana Jones styling. I've had it in the closet for over a year. Forgot how nice it is.

It is made in Italy with the zipper on the European side. Marked as a 46, certainly a size 44 at least.

I'm 5'9" 190 and this fits me perfectly.

this is not what I would call a "Mall Jacket". Maybe a high end mall. This is a nice quality jacket in excellent condition and priced to be affordable.

All the pictures with the Tape are here.

Chest: 22.5
shoulders: 21
sleeves: 25
length: 26.5

Price: $old

Nice. I like the length but need at least 26 or 26 inch sleeves. That's gonna be my challenge.

This is the jacket John Chapman at Good Wear leather used as his pattern for the Messenger/Arcadia jackets. I had an Arcadia when I bought this jacket from John.

No size tag. Probably a size 40. Nice condition in and out. Late 40s Horsehide. Nice jacket if you can wear it.

I've been having image issues in other post. I can see them, but not all can. So let me know if there is an issue.

All the measurements are in this album.

Price: $SOLD

Windward, late 40s Steerhide. Excellent condition, only needing a few stiches on the cuff, as pictured in the album.

Watch the Video for additional raving about the jacket.

Probably a size 44/42. All the measurements are in this album.

Price: $SOLD

All time Favorite 50s Sears Hercules. This one is Steerhide. I have sold two other black ones and one brown one in this Highwayman configuration. I have a keeper of this model in horsehide. The Steerhide is actually as nice a jacket.

The Hercules label is missing, you can see the ghost outline. It has issues at the neck hem as pictured.

This is probably a 42/40 and a bit tight for me at 190 pounds, but I can get it zipped.

All the measurements are in this album.

Price: $325 shipped.

Another Windward from the 50s. Never seen another like this one. This is also in steerhide. Nice beefy steerhide on this one also. Zipper was replaced with a YKK and the "elephant ear" pockets were stiched down.

This one in the 44/42 range. No official size tag. All the measurements are in this album.

Price: $SOLD

Thanks. I'll probably end up with that one. If I lost a bit around the middle It would be fine.

I wish to God I could fit into this jacket.

The elephant ear design is certainly luxurious, although I can't think of anyway it can also be durable, no way around it. Probably add a layer of enforcement leather strip on the underside of the body panel, so that the short edges of the elephant years are stitched through four layers of leather instead of 3, protects the body panel a bit longer.

I don't think God could help you get in that! It would end up like that blown out Himel!

I've been having picture posting issues. I can see them. Hopefully you can also.
