Another of my vintage leathers

[JonnyCrow]

This one I've never been able to identify, no marks or labels and strangely no trace of ever having been any, pretty sure it's horsehide, talon zipper, and natural silk/rayon/nylon liner, 2 piece back, real wool, worsted knits looks like a motorcycle jacket to me, it's a good one though, good fit and one I love wearing, any ideas anyone? I've seen those snaps also on older jackets

The pocket flaps also look scalloped to me, I'd love to pick your learned brains and see if I can't identify it

Looks a lot like my late 70s Schott, except for the epaulettes with the box stitch. Mine are attached direct to the shoulder seams.

Thanks Chandler, I'd never seen this model before, as for Schott and belstaff vintage motorcycle jackets, they're fetching silly money in some places now, my jacket by the way has old stitch marks on each shoulder that look like old shield shaped patches, I originally thought it was American police motorcycle

Oh yeah -- my Schott also has a quilted lining. Made it very warm in Winter.

So apart from the epaulettes and the lining Chandler, very similar

Yes. From the snaps to the 2-piece back.

I'm guessing there are handwarmer pockets on yours?

Nope there's the other strange thing Chandler, no hand warmers and look at the curved flaps

Like I said at the beginning I didn't recognise the jacket although I have seen Schott motor jackets but never with one piece pockets or a Rayon type lining, no inside pocket either

That's a big difference from Schott right there.

Also, no inside pockets on mine.

I thought so Chandler, those pockets eh, puzzle right there
