It has no label. It is not like other short wool jackets I own. This one has the look and feel of a hunting jacket, more from that type of maker. Not like the catalog fashion jackets. It is coarse wool and in a plaid I associate more with "hunting" wear. It is a tradition half-belt., short and fitted at the belt. It has no "gathered" sides, but it appears they had a tuck on each side. These jackets have a very stylish cut, much different than a hunting jacket. The length is great for the car and nice to wear inside instead of leather.

Absolutely. Snuck out for a quick ride. Too nice a day.
Leather is older CW. Early 2000s.

Just got this new "Bryggarfrack/brewers tailcoat" delivered, it's made here in Sweden in the 50's and is made of goat.
Super cool model that I've been eyeing for a while, very short arms that seems to be the standard on these jackets, at least when looking at smilar examples of this model made in the same-ish time. But they were made for working in so makes sense(and a good jacket to show of your watch lol).
Super stoked to finally have one in my collection, may change the buttons for something more contrasting(after seeing Marcs example)
ps. I love the combo of tan + black
Cheers

I don't see what kind of watch you're wearing)

Nice watch
Finished the dye job on my Jo-o-Kay. Turned out great and since today’s the last warming day for a bit I’ll take her for a test drive to work. This jacket started out pretty boring:
Post dye and it has a bit more flair. Reminds me of some of the H bar C western stuff.

Excellent transformation - you made the jacket into what it was meant to be. Another standout effort!

Daaaaaamn dude! That looks absolutely amazing. Very well done! HARD DIBS if you decide to let go of it!
SB Car Coat in Black Mustang just arrived. A rather lovely thing. Weight distribution is perfect - no neck hang, fit across the body pretty much ideal. I really like the way that the sizing is true - this is a 40 which fits on par with OTR size 40s that fit well. At this sort of pattern and cut, it's the best initial fit I think I've had. Pics when I've broken it in for a few days.
It would suit him extraordinarily well. I’m not even mad about it. Okay, maybe just a little bit.
Beautiful watch, very similar to some of the Grand Seiko sbg models.
He after the Cody Rancher. Not this one. Fair warning though, I’m not quite done with it yet. I have enough dye to do the two side back panels, so I’m doing that next. I think it’ll frame the back to match the front better.

Yessirree its the Cody Rancher I've been on the hunt for. So this one is available to become a Swede Suede in the future.

The dye job looks fantastic. I have to admit that when I read about it before seeing your pictures my heart sank. “He ruined it!” But it really elevated the jacket!
