"Half Belt De Luxe" - Mid-Weight Horsehide
Based upon one of our best selling styles, the Half Belt, this jacket has all of the style but with more luxury. This model benefits from having a five pocket set up: one sloping breast pocket with ring and ball zipper, two large cargo pockets with stud closing, with two hand warmer pockets (inserted) into the cargo pocket feature.
There is a very nice cord effect detail around the cargo pocket set atypical of 1930's to 50's American styling. The main center and breast pocket zippers are the new "Aero" brand. The sleeves have a stud closing/fastening in a blackened brass finish, again a feature of USA 30's to 50's design. The back of this jacket has a bi-swing back with a false belt feature (same as the Half Belt) and side adjusting belt and brass buckle, to ensure correct fit. The body is lined in Alpaca wool (other linings are also available) while the sleeves and pockets are lined in heavy cotton drill for ease of movement
