@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

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

Nice repair

[GraemeE]

This could have gone in repairs but its old.
Long term pet project/labor of love that ends up needing a new repair seemingly every few wears

When I picked it up it had likely been hanging up in a barn somewhere for decades...thats after some rancher beat the crap out of it with daily wear for who knows how long

[Mizmazzle]

@GraemeE love those repairs. What’s the brand of that jacket?

[GraemeE]

@Mizmazzle its hiding on the snap

One of the budget sub brands of Key
There was Tuf-Nut, Saddle King etc....

Trying to learn that I dont need to have everything cool that I see so I didn't buy but definately stood and admired for a while
