British WWII 1940 style leather jerkin, remade on the original pattern. Four buttons, no pockets. The cowhide leather is heavy-duty but supple; the quality of manufacture is second to none. The lining is a robust polycotton. The label is white cotton as per the original. A fitting reproduction based entirely on the original that collectors and enthusiasts alike will appreciate.
