Vintage Sears Fieldmaster

I haven't bought anything in quite a while, but I couldn't resist picking this up. I'm guessing it's from the 50s, if anyone knows for sure let me know. I just got it off the bay so I won't get it for a while yet. It looks to be in pretty decent shape with some nice grain to the leather. I thought maybe you guys would like to see it.

You know us well.

Very nice jacket...I bet you paid far less for it than for an A-2 repro, and I know which I'd rather have.

You got that right, about $800 less than my Goodwear, which was one of the reasons I couldn't resist, plus the fact that I don't have any "black" jackets. This one has some character and was just my size.

Great score!
The horsehide utilized by Sears back in the day was superlative.
Congratulations.

Hi fedoralover, by any chance could we see what the jacket looks like being worn?

Here's a shot of it and a close up of the front. This has been the only jacket I've been wearing since I got it. It fit me perfectly and is really comfortable. Can anyone put a date on this?? One knowledgeable person thought it was either late 50s or early 60s. Please excuse the red-eye, my glaucoma meds make me look like a druggy.
