Vintage Leather Hose Jacket Firefighter Equipment Department

Here's a vintage leather hose jacket. One of the straps is a little "soft" (see pics). The rest of the leather seems pretty decent. The buckles on this are Heavy Duty and would be awesome on a custom belt buckle! That said, what a neat display or conversation piece... This is a used piece of equipment that has wear and patina (see pics for overall condition. Who knows, maybe it could go back to work? From the fire department - I was told that this works as it should - but that they were replacing some used equipment with new.
