@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

[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....
