Vintage short wool jackets

[Dinerman]

1930s Ski jacket. Elastic back. Sunburst Talon zip with green tape and painted green pull and teeth, to compliment the green trim.

1950s Penney's whipcord western/workwear jacket. Part of a full suit.

 

[Sloan1874]

Nice on it's own. Suspect that the addition of the trousers might be a bit Six Million Dollar Man.

Really love some of these jackets, really hope someone can makes the repro of these

Why ISN'T anyone making reproductions of these types of jackets? I check this forum practically every day, sifting through a dominating pile of leather topics, hoping that something made of wool, with a belted back will show up.

That jacket worn by John Longden, in the film The Silver Fleet, posted at the top of this page would be perfect.

Finding originals is always an option.
