Suede doesn't get a lot of play, but here's a couple of 50s/60s bombers in 44 anyway: silk-lined blue from M Bogen Co. (assume as of Bogen & Tenenbaum) going for $89 and a rather creased Herc for $119 obo.

Brand-name suede jacket don’t get any love and are often found for sub-$100. A 1930s Admiral Byrd suede jacket sold for $10 recently, just 1 bid. The trick with a dirty suede jacket is to dye it in a darker color — it would look sparkling new after.

Ton did it recently. Dying is easy, locking in the color without bleeding could be tricky.

Like the big front pocket style with hand warmers and the thick ribs.

Dislike the cheap back.

Anyone know what model this would be? Just an old C2? May try and snag it if I can try it on first!

EDIT: went and bought it! Looks to be an older C2 with the belt loops removed, maybe a thunderbird since I can't find any remnants of belt loops beyond the front. Nevertheless, might be ever so small in the sleeves but giving it a go to get a feel for how I like a smaller fitting cross-zip.
