Hi guys. Happy new year!

I need helped iding a jacket I'm wearing. It's a goat hide A2 - seller thought maybe it's 80s very nice - could be new cuffs etc.

Here's the label and a few pics. Thanks in advance, wasn't too expensive but wondered as no clear manufacturer.

Low 70s blustery and rainy today, so I decided to put on some winter gear and do a road trip way up to the North side. The light weight cow hide and A2 pattern was perfect for a cruise to Hanalei in my Prius with the AC blasting.

The Lewis Leathers Universal Racer was designed at least 20 years before the J-100, why is it not considered a "precursor of the modern cafe racer jacket"? Maybe Rin Tanaka didn't think it was cool?

(did a bit more googling since i posted, the buttoned UR MkI is from around 1926, the zippered MkII version shown below is from the early 30s.)
