I not only love the cut of the jacket - the height of his waistband is also impressive!!:D;)

sorta cut like a early halfbelt (without the halfbelt) Tapered waist, Thick fabric, longer in front than back with a slight dip front bottom.
Diffrent from what has been posted so far, But this is not like a Ricky Jacket more early work feel.
Just some quick sloppy pics, would get the better effect being worn with high waist pants,

There's at least 6 jackets here I'd buy if they were in my size. I've been watching a lot of Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents lately...lots of great jackets in those shows!

Great thread. I love these jackets. Lost Worlds new 1930's Test Jacket could probably be done in wool.

These jackets (and the movie"Seabiscuit") are what prompted me to order the HB I had made in the Waterfront pattern I posted a few weeks ago!:eusa_clap

GREAT jackets everyone. The two-tone ones are knock outs!

Here's a wool gab number, not mine unfortunately but would love to have one made like it. Dig the collar and the inverted pleat on the back! Unfortunately I can't remember where I got the pics from originally, but I was sure to keep 'em in my reference file!
