Windy City Sportswear
Size is roughly a 1930's SMALL, which is closer to an XS of today
Please use the exact measurements in the last three photos for sizing
This is a vintage, USA made leather jacket. Please study the photos for the most accurate description of condition.
My Notes:
Beautiful and rare label picturing a man hunting with his dog
Navy script lettering on a gold background
Red lettering at bottom of label denotes the jacket is made of 'Front Quarter Horsehide'
I only find one other example of a jacket bearing this manufacturer's label.
Mid 1930's based on the TALON zipper
Photo #3 shows some of the amazing graining on this jacket
Condition Notes:
The jacket is being offered in AS FOUND, estate condition.
I have not treated, conditioned, or otherwise cleaned this jacket
Everyone has their own favorite leather treatment so I would like to leave it to the new owner to treat or not..
Made with thick high quality leather, so it is stiff, but not brittle and dry like most 1930's leather
On the rear of the jacket there is a dry spot, but even this area is still flexible and not chalking or falling apart
There are scratches, wear, old dirt, etc to the exterior
There are old stitch holes from patches sewn to the left and right chest area
There is damage and loss to all knit cuffs
The lining is drab green cloth and is in good condition.
It appears to be the original lining
The label is off center and has loose threads, wear at edges, and one small hole
The pockets have some white spotting to the inside
The metal bits are tarnished and worn
If you are interested please feel free to make an offer, I want to find it a good home.
If you have any questions please feel free to reach out!!
Thanks for looking!
