Found this near mint wwii army jacket at a thrift store yesterday for $8. It seems authentic but I’m not an expert, could be a repro I suppose. It’s got the gas flap, thirteen star metal buttons and herringbone fabric. It’s oversized like a lot of military jackets were at the time, size 38R where I usually wear a 42L or 44R. Super stoked to have this piece.
That is super cool. Reminds me a little of the shirt John Lennon wore.

Just picked up this vintage Lee 101J in suede. Seems kind of a rare bird- at least I’ve never see these come up. Still trying to figure it out- no side pockets and numerical sizing seems to place it in the 70’s. Labeling seems to indicate USA made. Any Lee jacket experts out there? Nice surprise- the sleeves on this Lee are actually decently long compared to those shorter sleeves on vintage Levi suede type 3 jackets from this era.

Great find. RMC is currently selling a similar one for USD 515. ;). Slightly more decorated but essentially the same.
