Nice Civie vintage found in Seattle

I was in Seattle a week ago and picked this jacket up at an antique store on the waterfront. The dealer said a man in his 90s had just brought it in that morning and told him he wore it when he was young. Young is relative when your in your 90s, so it's hard to say exactly how old it is. I'm guessing maybe it's from the 50s. The label is unreadable, but it is in excellent condition and has some awesome graining on it. No missing buttons, zips all work and no holes in the pockets. I thought maybe some of you would like to pics of it.

Very nice. Looks to be in fantastic condition. The leather label remins me of an 80's jacket but the design is much earlier. Those look to be 50's Talon zippers too so I'd say you are right to date it to the 50's.
 
Actually the zips say "Conmar" on one side and "Made in USA" on the other, don't know if that helps date it or not.

Whatever the zipper says, that is a fine jacket; superb-looking leather. Let's see a couple of pics with you wearing it. A jacket like that needs to be worn.
