Leather Jerkin

[MattyBoy2006]

Good afternoon all

Currently looking at this listed late war leather jerkin & was just requiring your thoughts & opinions!

It is described as put together with several pieces of leather to save on materials, was this typical of the period?

Thank you & best regards

Hi Matt, I owned one of these (best part of 30 years) & sold it a few years back, from the details & pics, the leather looks pretty much the same, I remember it smelling 'distinctively old', didn't realize they were made up to the War's end, would make sense though !

Yep they where made patchy utilizing what leather cuts they had on hand. Here's my camo versions for you to compare with. 41 & 44

Nup all good there Matt

A nice looking jerkin, that is. I think the multi-piece construction gives it character and, during times of war, nothing went to waste.

Those are all fab-looking examples there, chaps..
I love the darker of your two René!
Groovy!

The camouflaged ones have nice, strong colours. Most examples of this type I've seen are quite 'washed out'.
