This is a Kit Karson 7-Star W Riders jacket, made in the USA around the 1950s. Kit Karson is a very rare brand, even in the market. This model originally had a total of 7 star studs: two on each shoulder epaulet and three on the kidney pad. All the stars are missing, but the marks where they were are still visible. The leather is high-quality front quarter horsehide with a good stiffness. The center zipper is a NYNCO zipper, and the sleeves also have bell-shaped NYNCO zippers. The body uses an old-style chain zipper, giving it a fantastic atmosphere. The back of the buckle is stamped with the North & Judd anchor mark. The hem is corduroy, which is characteristic of riders jackets from this era. The fact that they were making this orthodox design quite early on results in a very refined silhouette. Also, the tag design is retro and creates a classical atmosphere. This vintage rider's jacket is full of charm that current items can't replicate! Highly recommended for those who love rockabilly and those looking for vintage riders jackets! The leather has aged for about 60 years, and has a wonderful texture. There is a hole of about 2mm on the upper right arm. There is also peeling leather on the left shoulder and upper left arm. Unfortunately, the lining has two large tears in the body. The sleeve ends were torn, so they have been repaired with black lining. There are no tears in the center zipper insertion, and it functions without any problems. The sleeve zippers are also intact and all function normally. This is a vintage item with the appeal of natural aging and damage, so please purchase only if you understand it as a collector's item. Please refrain from purchasing if you are not used to used clothing or if you are concerned about small scratches or fraying.
