DETAIL

HORSEHIDE ALL BLACK LEATHER SPORT JACKET / RARE DETAIL...

Horsehide sports jacket

This is a sports jacket-style leather jacket with a ribbed collar.

This type of sports jacket was popular around the 1930s, but I estimate this particular piece is from the late 1950s.

The diagonally placed chest pocket gives off a sense of a detail where different eras intersect.

Front zipper / TALON zipper
Chest zipper / CONMER
Both are originals.

The fact that the lining is quilted rather than wool was another point I appreciated when considering wearability.

The actual size is equivalent to L.

The shoulders aren't stiff and rigid, but rather gently droop, making it a jacket that looks great even when worn loosely.

I think this is a special leather jacket that you don't often come across.

CONDITION

There are some small holes and fraying on the ribbing and slight scuffing on the lining, but the leather is in very good condition and there is no noticeable damage.
