[~ 50's] Belgium Army Jerkin Leather Vest

Estimated around the 50sIt will be the Belgian army "Jerkin Leather Best".

This is also a masterpiece that does not require explanation.

Speaking of leather vests in military items, many people think of jerkin leather vests.

It originates back to the medieval Britain, and is a leather overbesttic, with a mantle and a mantle and on the outermost shell for the best defense and cold protection.

At that time, even in a sturdy thick fabric military uniform, it was a daily occurrence to be hooked and broken or damaged.
Each time it took a lot of time to repair with a needle and thread, it was unavoidable, so it was Jerkin's best to be adopted on the outermost shell.

These were practical and durable, and were also highly valued by officers and other classes.
By the time of World War II, Jerquin Best was still provided to all of the Federal Army and was widely widespread.

In addition, Jerkin during World War II seems to have finished around the lower end with terminals to eliminate waste, so it is not always tailored with one leather. Isn't it an interesting point like a vintage?

Regarding the details, it has a very simple and simple appearance.

It is usually said that there are four front buttons and individuals with khaki wool lining, but since it has become widely widespread in various countries, such as the U.S. Army, the Belgium, and the Dutch army. The details are different.

This individual is different from the Jakin vest used by the British army, and I think that the presence or absence of the front button pocket is a major difference in detail.

The British Army's Jerquin Vest uses a bakelite button, while the Belgian army's Jarkin vests use a metal button with a "lion".

In addition, a patch pocket made of the same material as the body is placed on the hem.
Even in other Belgian army Jerkin vests, individuals with pockets and individuals that do not have pockets have been confirmed, so it seems to be the difference depending on the production situation at the time.

It is a nice point that the tag, which is also a proof of the government, is firmly left on the inside of the neck.

For doughUse HORSEHIDE.

What is a hosehide (horse leather)?It refers to the leather that can be removed from an adult horse, and as a feature, there are disadvantages that the density of fiber is low and the strength is not high, but the luster and texture of the leather cannot be reached.
The price of the leather itself is more expensive than other leather.

Regarding the hosehide, I think that the leather quality at the beginning is hard and difficult to wear, but since it is softly finished as you wear it, you can enjoy aging and create your own first place. I think it's a leather. 

The lining is tailored with wool fabric, so the heat retention is outstanding.
There is no doubt that it is one wearing that is excellent in functionality, as well as design.

Not only rarity but also as a fashion item, I think it is a very cool one, so I would like you to wear it without hesitation.

The size notation cannot be confirmed, but I think it corresponds to "L ~ XL" in Japanese size.

Even if you look at the actual dimension value, it will be a large size, so I think that even a large body can wear it without any problems.

Originally made for overbests assuming that it should be worn from the top of the cloak, soBasically, the sense of size is larger for any individual.
Since the armholes and width are plenty, I think that it is the first place that can be enjoyed by people of various body types.

Although there is a feeling of use such as color spots and fabric, etc., there is no major damage that has a problem with wearing, so I think that you can still wear it.
