Any guesses as to the maker of this cafe racer?

A little weird, but kinda cool. Hard to tell quite what the leather is like because of the strong sun:

Looks similar to my Passiac. It would help to see a pic of the back, and a close-up of the neck snaps, and zippers...

Here's the back, and a bit better look at the snaps:

@technovox wins. My money is on Passaic as well.

Agreeing with @technovox and @ton312

Yep. Based on the double main zip, the double brass collar snaps, the back gussets and most importantly the steep angle of the two chest pockets, this one looks like it was made by Passaic Leathers or "Passaic-Bergenfield-Garfield." I'll try to post some pics of mine...they are very well made jackets. Some of the earlier ones have been described as horsehide, but that may be just wishful thinking.

What do you guys think about that slanted pockets? Trying to figure out if they're too fancy for me..

 

[TREEMAN]

I must say I do not like them...........

 

[Peacoat]

Not a fan of the slanted pockets.

At first I didn't like them either...but now I think they're kind of cool- they're so distinctive and such a trademark look of the Passaic cafe racer.
Here's my jacket.

I like them too. They are on the extreme end of the cat eye but very much the trademark angle for this maker. You can still get this jacket New too btw. Let's visit a website not updated since 1994:

I like this jacket. How’s the sizing run on them? Thanks.

 

[technovox]

Mine is a size 44, but it fits more like a size 42. One of the things I like most on these Passaic are the longer sleeves.

Thanks. That helps. I’ve seen a few I really like, but the sellers are obviously terrible at taking measurements and do not respond to messages.
