OR66 Jacket - Horsehide Black
The PDW OR66 Jacket in premium, front quarter panel horsehide. Handmade in San Francisco, California USA. This is our take on the "Half Belt" style leather jacket, an American style icon since the 1930s and worn worldwide. The 1930s was the "Golden Age of Aviation", the end of Prohibition, the era of Streamline Moderne design, the Great Depression, Big Band and Jazz, the Yankees ruled baseball, and the beginning of WWII. It was a time when things were made and built to last. There was value and common sense in well made, durable consumer products and goods. It was during this decade the "Half Belt" style leather jacket was born. The OR66 is one of our made in USA CORE-Line products, and of heirloom quality. Available in classic black. To create the O.R.66 Jacket, we started with three authentic period examples of this style jacket from the 1930s, 40s and 50s. From these vintage examples our master pattern and final jacket was created. We used the finest, select, front quarter panel
