This one tells its own story. Made by W.B. Place & Co. in Hartford, Wisconsin, this vintage deerskin fringe jacket carries the soul of the American plains in every stitch. The leather is a rich, smoky gray—soft with age, strong in spirit—and trimmed with long fringe that dances down the sleeves, pockets, chest, and hem.
White stitch detailing traces the collar, yoke, cuffs, and pockets like a trail map etched in leather—subtle, unique, and full of intention. The interior is lined with a deep satin finish, smooth and simple, no bells and whistles. Just like its original owner, this jacket doesn’t try too hard—it doesn’t have to.
A rare piece, it’s a testament to mid-century craftsmanship.
