Looking for a wide/spread collared Ricky or Tanker Jacket very similar to the jacket shown below, in size Large.

Even a wide collared vintage Gabardine jacket will suffice. The only major things are a jacket of a very similar appearance with a flared/wide pointed collar.

The wide collar is going to be mid to late 40's, so typically any Ricky jacket from 1953 or later won't work.
There's a lot of companies making repro's of "Ricky" jackets.
Check out Pike Brothers, Aero Leather Clothing, Repro Vintage Clothing, etc.
BTW, where did you find THAT picture?

Off tumblr, a rockabilly page. I wish I had that jacket.
The first two pictures are from 1945, of my grandpa. I'm told what he's wearing is actually a modified WWII Tanker jacket. But Rickys and Tankers seem to be quite a bit similar in some ways.
