This arrived today assuming zippers/tag are original to the jacket I date this to the 1930-40s?? It wears like a half-belt, I assume that’s what it is???
Amazing wearable condition like it’s been hanging in someone’s wardrobe with my name on it waiting for me, no issues at all with this jacket even smells ok, nice clean intact lining, perfectly good working Talon zippers,
it’s a very light weight goat with some crazy graining, patina and heaps of character, weighs
in at around 1kg so great for the Australian climate

Speaking of brown Cals....I’ve been super busy and haven’t had time. But there’s going to be an entire metric ton of goodies I’ll be putting up in the classifieds and a brown Cal just might be there. So everyone keeps your eyes on the classifieds in the next few days. But sorry @JMax nothing in your size!
I think the March 13, 1952 date is the date that the contract was accepted. So it could have been made from then until several years later, depending on the length of term of the contract.

IMG_7634 by Michael A2012, on FlickrI was wondering what to do with those. They bunch the sleeves a bit if I have them all the way zipped, and I'm kind of an all-or-nothing guy so I didn't try finding a middle position, but if that's what I'm supposed to do I'll fiddle with it.
Yeah. I prefer to zip them until the sleeves ride on the first knuckle on my thumb for best mobility. When you start using the jacket like that I would think the leather is thick enough to start creasing the sleeves inside of your elbow which will set the length even better.
