1940s vintage halfbelt by Bogen and Tanenbaum (pics)

[srivats]

I found a very nice, original 1940s halfbelt made by Bogen and Tanenbaum (same maker who had a navy contract during WW2) on ebay ... have already paid for it and waiting for it to arrive. I love the leather, very nice for a 60-year-old jacket. I'd love to get your opinion on this jacket ...

Here are some pics from the seller:

Great jacket ... one of several that contrailschaser was selling. As he said in the description, it's labelled M.Bogen Co.

I guess that Mr. Tenenbaum was lost somewhere along the way.

Yes I indeed bought it from contrailschaser ... he somehow manages to find some really amazing jackets.
