Recent ebay pickup

Did not know this thread existed, nice one @BalticBob and thanks for reviving @GraemeE. Sharing an 80 year old horsehide my grandad wore the hell out of. Maybe one day IHJ-129

@flannel-slut Awesome jacket. Enjoy

[Mizmazzle]

@flannel-slut damn, Brennan. Not only is that leather so cool to look at, it’s fits you like a glove!! That quilted (?) lining is really cool looking too. Looks like it’s nicely intact and well preserved.

Are you considering some leather conditioning on it? How’s the leather feel as it is now?

@GraemeE what are the details on this?

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic not entirely sure.
Bought from a seller in the uk (who described it as french) and it appears to be swiss made - if i had to guess probably 70s?

The fabric reminds me alot of the swiss military shirts that seemed to be in every surplus store in the 90s and early 2000s

@Bridger thanks man! Definitely will @Mizmazzle it’s has held up incredibly well considering the age. My aunt had replaced the zipper a few years ago but had it stashed away. She said she had something for me to try on over the holiday break. Once on, it was a no-brainer coming home with me. The leather is buttery soft with exception to the collar (very dry, w concerns of tearing) so am planning on giving this a thorough mustang pasting before putting into rotation.

@flannel-slut its a damn cool jacket!! Does it have any buckles or design features on the back side?

[flannel slut]

@Mizmazzle thanks again man. No back buckles but has bi-swing pleated shoulders. It’s ironically similar to my IHJ-129 without the double pockets and lining

[GraemeE]

Picked up the matching pants for the jacket I posted a little ways up in this thread

Nice repair
