Leather Condition

• Genuine heavyweight steerhide
• Strong, healthy leather throughout
• No rot
• No structural cracking
• No damage to hide integrity

The surface shows natural vintage patina and fine creasing from real wear, not neglect.

Very light dryness visible mainly on the back collar area only — cosmetic and typical for age. Leather remains supple and solid.

⸻

Cleaning

The jacket has already been lightly cleaned:

• Surface dust removed
• Leather wipe applied
• Fully dried
• No residue

Now presents clean with a strong natural leather scent.

No heavy conditioning or restoration has been applied so the buyer may preserve or treat to preference.

Hardware & Zippers

• All zippers fully functional
• Front main zipper works smoothly
• Chest pockets functional
• Sleeve zippers functional

Note:
Right sleeve zipper has a small section where the zipper tape has come slightly unstitched from the leather edge. The zipper itself works perfectly and the leather is strong. This is an easy restitch if desired but has been left original.

Interior / Lining

• Original lining
• Excellent condition
• No tears
• No holes
• No damage

All pocket bags intact, clean, and fully stitched.

Interior is remarkably well preserved for its age.
