I am hoping someone could possibly help me date this jacket more accurately. Metal zippers on front and belt around waist
That's beautiful and it looks like it has some age! Is there name on the zipper pull? Are there any tags inside the pockets? Are the insides of the pockets felt? Are there pleats on the backs of the shoulders? That diagonal zipper on the chest makes me think it was a motorcycle jacket - you could reach in and easily pull out map or money for tolls.
Its a talon zipper, there is a tag but its not readable, the insides of the pockets seem cotton and no pleats.
Thanks for the photos. They are helpful. I think it's 40s or 50s, judging from the zipper. This guide is super helpful for dating Talon zippers https://photobucket.com/gallery/use...mdTcGVuY2VyU3Rld2FydGhvcml6b250YWwuanBn/?ref= What a great find!
