While today the leather jacket has surpassed functionality and secured its position as a timeless style icon, the garment was first introduced for fighter pilots in the 1920s. Durable, high-quality leather was a necessary part of the working man's wardrobe and only became a fashion statement after its adoption by Hollywood in later decades. Crafted from supple black horse leather, this vintage car coat from the 1930s features a notched collar, a front button fastening, long sleeves, front flap pockets, two slit pockets and a belted waist. Please note that vintage items are not new and therefore might have minor imperfections. This piece is intended to be a collector’s item.
