The brakeman jacket originated in the 1820s–30s for railroad workers needing durable outerwear in harsh conditions. By the 1920s–30s, it evolved into the car coat, retaining its core shape but gaining unique design details as brands created their own versions.
This jacket is a faithful reproduction of a 1930s car coat, featuring a mid-to-long length, T-seam back, wind flap collar, and three front pockets with natural horn buttons. Crafted from custom tea core horsehide, the leather offers a soft feel, rich luster, and refined grain — combining durability with vintage character.
