This vintage leather jacket was made in the 1960s for Montgomery Ward under their Brent label. It is a classic half-belt cossack leather jacket style, popular from the 1930s-1960s. While it is not labeled, with its heavier weight, this feels like a steerhide rather than horsehide. This one has a larger Talon zipper than earlier models, as well as a quilted nylon lining. These are rare to find in larger sizes like this, and even rarer to find in such good condition.

This was the first fedora I got off eBay, I think the second thing I got off eBay at all, after a ’50s diner matchbook. I wore it to Alaska, but didn’t end up keeping it too long after that.
