About This Jacket:
This large Bronco is a nice example of the higher quality that some Bronco jackets are made
with. The leather is goatskin, which Bronco seems to have used on occasion, while also using horsehide in the same contract.
The goatskin is in some places very thick, stiff, and heavy, as opposed to the goatskin of many Navy goatskin jackets. The thread
isn't originally light but it appears that either sunlight or water has lightened the thread, since the hidden areas are both an OD green
and brown color. Many Broncos were made with Crown zippers, and this one has a Crown. The owner (whether WWII or later) was
B. Boden. I've added Real McCoy's cuffs, since the cuffs that came with weren't original. |
