First day of pre-school for my grand daughter Tenley. She said I looked great in my Roughwear jacket

I love the way natural hides develop. I made a belt 30 years ago from natural butt leather , tried it on recently -too small ! but it still looks awesome. So I made one that fits but doubt I've got 30 years left to see it reach the same level . Now I'm on the lookout for a 38 jacket in natural that I like the look of . Your's is coming along nicely @MrProper

Sears Fieldmaster steerhide with pile lining. First introduced in the 1959 catalog and shown with an Oakbrook label in the early 60s. These were sold in horsehide and steerhide made by Appalachian Tanned and Tailored. Very boxy fit. I've owned 6 or 7 and have another coming in the mail.

That's the average week take home pay in '59.
