This vintage jacket was made in Owatonna, Minnesota by Uber from deerskin leather. It is a pullover style, with a lace up front and side zipper. It has two C&C zip breast pockets and is lined. While the 44″ chest measurement would seem to suggest a size 40, trust me that with the pullover cut of this, it fits much better on a 36-38.

Chest (pit to pit): 22″ (doubled = 44″)

Shoulder to shoulder: 17-1/2″

Sleeve (shoulder to cuff): 21-3/4″

Length (base of collar to hem): 27″

This was the original cossack style jacket before the half-belt back models took over. As was typical of many early leather jackets, this one is unlined. It is marked a size 36 in pen but measures smaller, probably originally worn by a teen.

WB Place Deerskin Leather Jacket

This vintage deerskin jacket was made by the W.B. Place company of Hartford, Wisconsin. They were tanners- you sent them a deerskin, they tanned it and tailored it into a jacket or gloves. This jacket has a classic design for this kind of leather, very outdoorsy, with a western yoked front and back, contrast leather stitching and fringe. There are issues with the finish of the jacket, which seem more to do with the quality of the original tanning job than with wear. There is wear just above the cuffs, where the owner rolled the sleeves under to shorten them.Chest: 23″Shoulder to Shoulder: 19″Sleeve: 25″
