I believe this is a Lewis Holster & Leather Goods Co. jacket.

Here’s mine to compare.

Can’t verify for sure without a label but it has some of the same details…double stitch around pocket, badge holder, back yoke etc…mine would be older as it has the button cuffs. These are extremely rare jackets. I’ve seen two examples including mine that feature a woolen lining underneath the rayon which is interesting.

@jeo here's a whole article about Lewis Holster with an exhaustive history. Who knew there were collectors like us out there for old leather holsters?

Thanks for sharing, this is great info.

Yeah apparently their holsters are what they are known for in the side arm community and they have a mini cult following.

This is not a Wolf jacket. Knopf was a maker.

Very cool jacket, but not sure it's really a 40 with 22PTP. If it were 21, I'd be on it.

Now $120 obo, seller has been dropping price and wants to get rid of this. I bet you can get it for $50, give or take.

Edit: watch and I got a $99 offer.

^^This one needs some help:

That's the ideal beef jerky status according to some folks

 

[jchance]

How about wearing it inside out as a red coat? The lining looks mint and you get to feel beef jerky on your skin (if you wear tshirt or short sleeve button front shirt).

The zippers are probably worth the bidding price and shipping alone.

20.5" p2p all-weather horsehide A-2, BIN $500

Now that's a nice one. Fantastic grain and leather looks in good shape. Sleeves probably too short for most here. Maybe a boys jacket?

I think if pulled taut the p2p would be 20 or less.

WB place had some very interesting stuff.
There's a similar piece in that classic deerskin color cheap on Ebay that keeps calling to me.
The problem is all the measurements are just right except the sleeves that seem to have been shortened.

I would have bought if it was a S/M. Love the style and price. Now I have a new saved search.

@BarryMcCockiner_PhD was looking for one.
