Sears Leather Shop maker

Hello, this is my first post.
I recently started back riding motorcycles and wanted a decent leather jacket so I picked up a Sears Leather Shop with the later white tag size 48 extra tall in good condition that I really like.
I was curious if there is any way to find out who actually made it, I assume Sears didn’t actually make them. I did some searching but most of the info I found was about the older ones.

It has a couple of small tags in the left pocket, one with a 1 written and one with “Cal-002”. The zippers are all EMAR.

It also has the materials and cleaning tag inside.
I really appreciate the great forum, It’s a huge help, I’ve learned a lot.

Thanks IMG_0081.jpeg IMG_0075.jpeg

Like @Biff42 said, pretty sure they were made in Korea but I'm not 100% sure and can't find any info on my G1 jacket from Sears/TLS with the same tag as yours.


In the end it doesn't really matter, they are decent to well made jackets with decent leather that I see going for peanuts on the second hand market, a good buy if you want to try out a style for cheap or just want a jacket that you can bash around without being to worried you'll ruin it :D

Good morning, thanks for the replies.
The cleaning tag says “Professionally leather clean only” and “Made in USA” but no maker.
With the EMAR zippers I think I read somewhere that Excelled used those?

In the end I like the jacket but I do wish it had a couple of pockets inside.

Thanks
David

The Leather Shop makers are a bit of a mystery. I do know that certain Leather Shop with the zip on collar were made by Ralph Edward. I just sold the Edward jacket and it was identical to the leather shop model

Excelled is an good guess for some.
