1930s Pigskin Jacket

What do you guys think of this one? Horrific or cool? I’m thinking about buying it, not really sure if the texture is too much. 1930s Scully Bros

Yeah … like the cut and the style … but yeah that hide looks like an armadillo’s back side ,

I like it, I don’t think I would wear it but that’s just me.
Thinking about it reminds me of my. Father’s large brass trimmed pigskin briefcase he would use to bring work home from the office years ago.

Nice jacket like the style and the cut definitely in need of lining .This aspect of the leather is pleasantly different it changes from smooth leathers

def go for it, as it is obviously unique, quite rare .love the 30s colt buttons. what size is it? I had a pig skin jacket when I was but a lad, and it was bullet proof.

Thanks for feedback. Interestingly, many jackets in the 1930s did not originally have a lining. I believe this jacket is such a case, but it might be wise to add one in.

Definitely rare. Originally intended as size 40, but probably fits more closely to a modern 38. It's very short, but I'm only about 5'7/ 5'8 and don't really need much length.

Hi,
I have a vintage pic of this same or like jacket being worn by Douglas (WRONG WAY) Corrigan. Taken here in VA. Bch., VA. while barnstorming around the country in the early 1930s.
