"Bootlegger" - Heavy Front Quarter Horsehide
"Bootlegger" - The superb Bootlegger jacket is easily mistaken for a late 20's early 30's original all purpose Flight Jackets.
This cross between an early flight jacket and a motorcycle jacket represents a vintage styling no longer made by any other manufacturer. The front zipper is fitted at an angle giving a generous wind flap with an extra button fastening at the neck, three deep pockets none of which are fitted with zippers, military style epaulettes, adjustable strap and buckle at the waist, stitched on 'Cossack' style half belt at back and fitted with a luxurious Alpaca Wool body lining c/w cotton drill sleeve lining complete with hidden storm cuffs for wind resistance.
Please note the standard Bootlegger does not have a zipper in the breast pocket although some jackets have been made with this option, such as the jacket used in the photograph. This classic was built to be used in all kinds of activity in any weather, and shrug off the hardest of wear. Previously only available in Oil Pull Brown Steerhide, we now also offer this classic in Black Steerhide.
