You are admiring a truely unique and rare original 1930s aviator-mc jacket. The jacket shell is made of cape skin, wich was the go to hide used in the 1920s-30s. Cape skin was used for the first army air corps jackets in the 1930s. The jacket was made be atkins huskies, which i was told, was a subsidiary of californian. The light russet colored cape skin shell is in remarkable condition, ie: no holes, no wear through, no dry rot, cracking, etc. The jacket has a bi-swing [action] back, wrist belts, and traditional vertical, and biased chest zippers. All of the classic details of a true 1930s half belt jacket. The art deco hardware is all there, some showing signs of tarnish and or rust. All three chest zippers work flawlessly. The main riveted front zipper was made by tuway, and the brass chest pocket zippers made by talon. The lightly quilted liner is in very good condition [even at the collar], however the rayon? Sleeve liners [see pics] show separation and fraying. As this is a true vintage jacket, i thought it best not to have the sleeve liners replaced, though the new owner may want to do this. All of the stitching is intact, and the pocket liners are hole free. The jacket fits as a size 40.. Chest from pit to pit: 22″ waist at bottom: 20 1/4″, sleeves from the shoulder seam to end of cuff: 24″, front length: 21 1/2″ back length from the collar seam to bottom of the back: 23 1/2.
