About This Jacket:

This Bronco shows a few details that seem common to this contract. The jacket has long sleeves in relation to the body, and the shoulders are quite square. The other details known as Bronco hallmarks are beveled pocket corners, thick horsehide, sometimes a single line of stitching for the hangar strap (and sometimes box stitching), small pockets, and often Crown zippers. The jacket belonged to Pierre Berry, as the card states. Note the evidence of some stitching trouble near the epaulette, and that the wind flap top is rounded.
