Skinnarland horsehide an wool coat

[Chiseller]

Anyone wear owt like this in winter? I belive its horse hide leather..sheep wool collar, fully wool lined. Led to belive its 1930-40's possibly earlier.. I can't see ANY weather getting through this

Weighs a ton.. I liken it to summat they would wear in Siberia while smoking cigarettes made from hazel leaves!

Even leather trim inside pockets. To save wear

Stout collar

Well stitched, strong backstage

I think it has been shortened?

Only flaw I found is where someone has tried to glue the sheep? Skin down on a loose piece..

Considering the age? I it is remarkable condition and still has original buttons..
Be nice to know if it is Germany or Norwegian construction? Google doesn't offer much help :-(

Hey up mate, you've got your self a reet beauty there mate! I used to collect old pilot A2 jackets and other horse hide/steer hide ones and let me tell you, the one you have there would fetch a pretty penny on ebay. Theirs some people that pay over the odds for ones in bad condition!!

For a new horse hide jacket now your looking at over 500 smackers!!

I can see it being a very affective winter jacket! ...and looking even better once its all distressed!!!

 

[Chiseller]

Cheers Pardner I can't see it ever becoming distressed, too rugged.. If I keep it, I might cut it up for a gillet.. I Google skinnarland inreg varum and it has mixed opinion on age and origin

[Dreadhead]

i love it, but must be heavy as hell? unless you uses it as a rucksack tied up too?

 

[Chiseller]

Lol I reckon abaht 5kilo! I might take it to vets and see if they can get it back on its feet

[treadlightly]

My God, 5kilo! My heaviest coat is a thick Crombie tweed and is half that weight.

 

[Gill]

That is one cool coat .

 

[Wayland]

It'd be a shame to cut that up mate.

I think you'd regret it down the line too.
