Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

Fascinating 40's Levi's Police jacket, i've never seen this model before.

Thanks @jeo for the last image, it looks like the same jacket.

It will be on sale at Inspiration LA, I'll imagine it will be very expensive due to the levi's tag.

Question is, who made it? RP?

Hi Terry, those are really amazing!

Pine Cone AA Quality Sportswear, button up half belt, probably 40s?

Any suggestions for the maker?

I saw this jacket on ebay. It did not last long. Did you buy it?

I have a Monarch with a similar button front.

The ebay jacket is most interesting.

Thanks Terry.

I did - waiting for it to arrive as I am shipping it via Stackry. Will post more photos once it shows up.

Saw this cool Rough Wear aviator for sale in Japan. It had condition issues and was big so I passed but I was really tempted.

A dealer recently offered me this jacket. It’s the original manufacturers version of a rare two tone Harley Davidson aviator. Back design is consistent with some Spiewak jackets I’ve seen so maybe they were the maker.

Here are the HD labeled versions of this jacket.

Los Angeles suede Sportogs in good conditions. Could somebody help me tracing the age of this gem? Could be pre 2nd WW?

I like it! I doubt pre-war, but 40s. Difficult to find old suede in such good condition.
