Here for your consideration is a very nice bomber-style leather jacket from Hudson, a company that is no longer with us but made some splendid leather outerwear.  It is well crafted of full-grain cowhide and lined in a quilted polyester satin. Even the pockets are lined in this material, which looks rich and feels luxurious.  The jacket is in excellent condition and has just been cleaned and conditioned.

Now, about the style: I've called this a “bomber” jacket, because most people understand that term. But, in reality, this is a “tool pusher” style jacket, so named because it was standard wear for the rig boss on a drilling rig. If you grew up in the 1940-60s in Texas, Oklahoma or around oil fields, that term would mean something to you...but not to anybody younger. The jacket is also very similar to the current Indiana Jones jackets.

The jacket features a wind flap and flap pockets with side-access pockets behind them. Inside, there is a single zipped ticket pocket. There is a buckle strap on either side to adjust the waist (this is similar to the Indy jackets, but they use D-rings and a strap...a buckle is better). Anyhow, this is a very good looking jacket, in a vintage style. I believe it was made in the USA, but I can't guarantee it; there is no notation of where the jacket was made anywhere on it.

NOTE: The jacket has a slight musty odor to it. This would go away if you could hang it outside in the sun, one day normally and one day turned inside-out. I can't do this because I live in a townhouse with no yard.

Measurements: 26” pit-to-pit, 29.5” collar-to-bottom, 25” sleeves.
