Bootlegger is one of the more popular jackets, I believe?

Another question: I understand the slim fit 30s HB is a more fitted jacket than the 50s HB. How great is the difference?

HoosierDaddy's got a spectacular Bootlegger.

I've got a cordovan Bootlegger in the new premier fit in the air as we speak. I'll put up pics when it arrives.

I don't see anything in this thread about the Bootlegger. Indeed, after skulking about here (TFL) for several years I don't recall the subject coming up more than a time or two. Am I the only Bootlegger fan? Carrie, do you sell many? Do you keep any in stock?

While we don't keep any Bootleggers in stock, we do sell quite a few! We fit customers using a 1930s Half Belt fit jacket and this works really well for getting the right sizing in this jacket...

It's about one full size difference, so customers generally size down one size from the 1930s Half Belt to get the fit they want in the 1950s Half Belt.

Thanks for both answers, Carrie. BTW, the Italian HH does look wonderful. Thanks for the pictures.
