I can't get that etsy seller to respond to numerous (around 10) messages with regard to the size on that one! it's cool AF!
Yeah and it's only $70!Just buy it and let the devil take tomorrow.
Sometimes I feel like I have to rescue these things.

Great jacket and pics!Here is another rescue from eBay (I have to credit a TFL member for this term, which I love). I do feel like sometimes I am rescuing these old jackets. This is a 1940's Spiegel, which I picked up for $100 from the Finds and Deals thread, in vintage size 42. The lining is shredded in the neck area, and the main zip has been sadly replaced with a YKK. But the chest and sleeve Conmar zips look to be original 1940's. There is something about these old cross-zips - they instantly feel so comfortable, you just want to wear them. I initially thought I'd reline it, but this jacket is telling me to keep it untouched - shredded lining and all. Looks to be horse, it has this certain density and stiffness of a horsehide, but of course could be a different hide. On to the pics from my walk:

Jacket absolutely suits you Boyo. The olive knits are cool too. Give it a little different flavor.A like new secondhand Aero Happy Days Jacket in Black Jerky HH
View attachment 261546
not a jacket I would have normally chosen but It was available on the cheap so why not.. it wears like an A-2
The jerky HH is super nice.. I don’t think I would ever select this before if ordering new based on the descriptions but I really like it! Top of the list now
