The civilian style

[Anonymous]

BK planning to make a civilian jacket (vintage).
They are thinking Highwayman or a cafe racer, but I 'd like to ask your opinion guys.
Which jacket do you like to see made?

or maybe a 1930s half belt slim fit?

Please post photos.

Vintage 1/2 belt jacket WITH closure buttons in wrists. For the leather a russet goatskin (not horsehide!) will be perfect.

Half-belt in goat, thanks. Don't see enough goat in that cool pattern and it's period accurate.

half belt in russet goat, with wrist straps, low waist straps, pleated or bi-swing back and welted pockets. real 1930s style.

Nah. What about this ? It's a beautiful horsehide half belt that I picked up a number of years ago. The unique feature of this jacket is the scalloped hem which helps give a great cut. Notice that the adjusters are at the bottom, where they should be, and not up at the belt like on most half belts, so it won't flare out.
