CIRCA 1929-1933

Exceedingly rare bomber jacket style with the body done in dark blue fabric and the sleeves a soft olive green suede. The interior is lined in matching material. Gray trim accents the neck, wrist, and waist. "Wells" player name is chain stitched inside and a makers' tag in the collar has frayed to the point of no longer being discernible. Wells played with the Yankees from 1929-1933 and other players in a team photo taken at Spring Training of 1929 are seen wearing the same style jacket. The Yankees would remain a force to be reckoned with in the American League during that span winning the 1932 World Series in a sweep over the Cubs.
Use and some general age/storage related wear are evident throughout with some discoloration/toning to the sleeves. Inside lining has torn in one area along a seam. One of a scant few surviving examples of this immensely desirable design. Includes LOA from Hunt Auctions: EX
