This Sportclad is dated February 1941. Not sure if this a Roughwear.
Unusual with the buttons. I have s Hercules in this length. Needs some mending!View attachment 649623 View attachment 649624 View attachment 649625 View attachment 649627
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
Very interesting! I like the ads tooRecently acquired this crosszip shacket, The Scalawag by Shirtcraft. It features somewhat rare Waldes Kover-Zips where fabric hides the teeth:

I would have bet my house that it was going to Japan. Glad to see it went to someone here. Would love to see fit pics of this guys as well as the late 30’s black half belt you got.Took a bit of time but here are some photos of the recent 30s admiral byrd that was for sale.
I figured since not many of these show up online, id chip in and post it on here for all of you lovely people! I had put the initial bid at 110 when i saw it pop up and just kept my eye on it until the final moment.
Between this and that black half belt I’m sure you do! Both are unique one of a kind gems. Congrats!Needless to say im going to be taking a bit of a break on ebay to recover XD
Im glad I was able to prove you wrong lol. Thank you for the kind words!I would have bet my house that it was going to Japan. Glad to see it went to someone here. Would love to see fit pics of this guys as well as the late 30’s black half belt you got.

Thanks a ton! Ill try to get some close ups of the zipper for ya soon.Congratulations! A beautiful jacket indeed. Well worth the money. What magnificent leather!
@jeo is this an example of Freid Osterman? Isn't this the same jacket, like mine and the black jacket posted in the Block thread.
This jacket has me questioning the Admiral Byrd label.
I look forward to dating the zipper. I see the grommets, certainly pre-war..
The Aviator style is really winning my heart!
Thank you!@Woolwonders wow that is a stunner. Great pick up! I'm jealous
Thanks! My friend who is proxying for me just got it. Hopefully he will be able to ship it to me shortly.Thank you!
Congrats to your awesome topline purchase as well. Cant wait to see more of it!
