Brown Shinki Aniline.What's the hide and colour? It's really striking.
Great outfit but AWESOME boots!
This showed up on ebay and surprised me. I had no idea Taubers worked in Deerskin! The price came down and I had to have it. Probably from the 60s.
BRILLIANT!!! Spot on fit too!The Walter Dyer showed up, and considering it’s from 1977 I’m surprised at what a cool jacket it is. I haven’t seen this color before, and I like it! Do I dare venture that the collar might even edge out the Bates...

Thanks! It’s a lot like some of your 5star designs, but with a little extra “groovy” added in. The collar shape is now my favorite and my new standard going forward. The color is quite interesting- kind of copper/ purple-burgundy/ brown depending on the light. You should be on the lookout for a 44.BRILLIANT!!! Spot on fit too!
I’d love to find one of those in my size.
From slightly longer and uphill morning bicycle ride, just brushed cotton cossack, leather is too sweaty for pedalling in the sun. I find my boyscout time waterbottle in my storage room, must have been 30yrs old at least, the cover has faded from OD green to rust, i wish i can find some place i can buy this lift the dot snap for my jacket locally.

I hope my cossack jacket will fade like this after few months of cycling.
i like this snap. I bet it looks real cool on patch pocket flap. yeah mine was from the late 80s, plastic bottle with aluminum mug and nylon(?) cover, it was original army version, many of their stuff are sold to the market as brand new (either military members probably sell their annual new stuff and keep using their old one, or perhaps "leaked" from the factories or from their logistic depots), it is not even under the table, many camping outdoor suppliers sell these stuff brand new, I bought this on traditional market one morning, and also m1945 styled small backpack from heavy canvas for camping in my elementary school boyscout trip, I used it during my junior highschool too, then totally forgot about them as we don't have obligatory scout from highschool onward.Lol those gigantic snaps that go all the way through, I forgot all about them! Had the exact same bottle in the army, except our holder was more Commie olive. I got the plastic one as a "new" issue but some of the guys had tin ones which were actually cool.

lucky in my time in university our country abolished university student regiment just few years prior due to being unpopular and the weakening of then army centric dictator regime. so I never got drafted
Just unboxed this beauty. I can see why jmax found it tight in the shoulders. They are wide but I can feel them across the back. Works well enough for my purposes though. Passaic makes a great jacket!
Thanks @lina for letting this one fly. Now if only my Kurland would emerge from the postal vortex….

I’m thinking 70’s. Two panel sleeves too. Jmax undersold the hide. It’s sublime! Reminds me very much of Bates Dominion leather from the 70’s. Lightweight but has some body, crisp and amazing grain!Great looking jacket!
What era do you think this jacket is from? It has the same shoulder/sleeve attachment as my Walter Dyer. It is different from most other jacket construction.
I think this will be my go to in the fall. Just a perfect weight. Love this thing and should have taken it off your hands months ago!Looks great. I felt it where you say- upper back/rear shoulders and delts. I was too afraid I would tear a seam reaching for a beer. Too bad. Such a killer jacket. I think you gots a winner man.
