This jacket has definitely been well loved over the years. One of the longer variations of the wool half belts. Measures around 25 in in length. Still wearable albeit a tad chilly to be in lol

Recently acquired this crosszip shacket, The Scalawag by Shirtcraft. It features somewhat rare Waldes Kover-Zips where fabric hides the teeth:

A couples ads from the 40s:

Maybe @photo2u can add more about this style of zipper?

Unusual with the buttons. I have s Hercules in this length. Needs some mending!
