1940's Eagleson police jacket with some of the best graining I've ever owned on the back.

That is a stand out jacket. I would want that one. It looks formidable. I was just going to post a jacket in the police thread. This jacket is in that thread?

30s Block Bilt goatskin halfbelt. I can't believe these were actually made in bigger sizes.

I trust you will do more on the beautiful jacket. In short, even in this shot, the jacket maybe one of my favorites of your collection. It looks good on the floor and on the body, not all jackets can do that.

I own one as well Highly underrated. Woolrich was the only vintage wool I could find that has a liner; very comfortable to wear and better protection in the wind

Waiting for my grand daughter, school canceled. Snow Day!

So this one isn't a 545?

So this one isn't a 545?

I don't know or remember the model, I know there is a lot of information on Woolrich. Yes, it has a lining which is a bit fragile. I did some research but don't recall.

Is this a 545?

I will wear another wool tomorrow. Got to get it out of the back room. It is from the 1930s and quite a piece of Wool.

Agreed. Schott suede trucker is by far the best I've seen. Levi's is a joke compared to it.

Lewis Leathers makes a very sweet suede trucker/western.

It's just like my 545 minus the game pockets; yours is the only one ive seen so far without them. "Rare bird" I'd say

I checked this thread out previously, well done, very informative.

Absolutely. The jacket needs some work (it needs a new elastic band to keep the gussets in place and de buttons need tp be replaced) but when done I'll do a full review.

Why limit myself to just one? I wore four cross-zips today!!! . Thought I'd amuse myself (and TFL) with a snowy comparison. It's fun to compare the cuts and fit of these 50's jackets. We won't haggle about an inch here and there fit-wise; I love them all. I welcome comments on the cuts! From left to right: Red Label Cal, Guide Master by Wolf, Kit Karson, Spiegel.

Guidemaster for the win!

Trophy. Was sold as steer but seems like goat.

I'm wrong again Has the game pouches and also they Throat latch. So, nothing special.

Thanks for that reference. I may have confused two jackets. This is the 30s jacket. No label, thick course wool

Channeling Tony a bit.

Guidemaster for the win!

Yes, I agree, looks like the most flattering cut of the four. Problem with the Guidemaster is that a lot of seams are busted. Looks like major thread rot. I need to have it fixed, the jacket deserves it. As @jeo wrote recently, Wolf made jackets for retailers. This one has Kennedy's on the label.

I was on vacation and stopped into Schott Bros - NYC earlier this week and picked up a new 118. I really appreciate that they now integrated a snap to hold the buckle in place when not in use - that was what I hated about older versions where the buckle would just flop around.

So much more comfortable to wear off the bike than my Vanson, Aero and Langlitz of the past.

First time out for the WWII Naval Clothing Depot 10 button pea. These things are absolute monsters. Every man, woman and child should have one. Kersey wool is practically waterproof and the warmest I’ve ever worn.
