fantastic early 1950s belted back leather jacket. there are buttons on the back so I believe it would have originally had an added belt that would attach at the back and do up in the front. they are missing. jacket is lined. originally I thought the front zip might be a replacement but I've now tracked down another example of it and it's the same zip. I've also included Sears Hercules ads from 1953 & 1954 of the same jacket - this one is also a Sears brand but not Hercules so not a perfect match but close!
