Women's vintage leather jackets?

[Chris 55]

I've been getting into the 1940s scene lately and now the wife is showing interest and thought it might be nice to buy her one.
Has anyone come across any 40s style jackets for women or have any suggestions.

Two designs:

Original capeskin women’s jacket. Shawn offers a repro, based on detailed photos of the original that I took.

2. Pancho Barnes’ flight jacket.

John Chapman offers repros of this one, for both men and women.

I did have a look on Shawn's site but didn't notice that jacket.

Yeah, I think he did it as a one-off and I never saw it on his site either. If you're interested, I can send pictures of the repro and if you decide to get one you can just send the pics to Shawn and say something like "remember this jacket? Could you make one for me?"

Didn't she have a clothing line? Maybe one of the first marketing buy-ins.

Maybe that's what we see in the first post.

Yes she did - the most famous woman in the world.

Maybe you should consider buying her an A2. When it fits, it's perfect on women

The thought has crossed my mind.
If I ask Shawn to change the collar and the knits a little as In the first picture.

Maybe interesting. Low budget but quite OK for a start. Surely the German members can assist if interested.

As witnessed by many pics of the ‘Wasps’ the ladies can wear an A2 well!

Bought a jacket from Gibson and Barnes in the early 90’s for my then wife. They called it the Amelia jacket. Didn’t look like any of these pictures but I thought it was a beautiful jacket. I believe it was goat.

Seconded. It’s a good style for women.

It is definitely a beautiful jacket that Nathalie wears. It is a jacket made by Fivestars right ? What leather is it ? And what is the color ?

 

[mulceber]

Thanks Kermit! Yeah, it’s Five Star’s Dubow in the goatskin Shawn developed for the Dubow repro. Honestly, one of the nicest goatskins I’ve ever encountered.

 

[Kermit3D]

Yes the leather is great. I don't care much for goat leather but it caught my eye on the picture, the color is also very good. Fivestar colors are often too reddish, but on this jacket it's really a nice shade.

Headwind offers an interpretation of this one. Delivery time(s) subject to interpretation as well.

Well I suppose the 12th of Never could count as a delivery time...
