Mine. I saw this sale a couple days ago, I was waiting for it to be posted, thinking it would be eaten up. The Roughwear Clothing name is legendary. I have one Roughwear labeled jacket and an unlabeled suspect. I've only see a few others for sale, 3-4 maybe. I don't recall seeing this style, very East Coast. The highest quality Horsehide of the day. I can feel and smell this one. I thinking I can get this one on and zipped, nice even if I can't.
General Douglas McArthur believed to be wearing an A-2 made by Roughwear.
I am SO happy you got it. It looks to be in great condition and if indeed it is, this is an incredible find. I was shocked when the seller sent me the offer for $300. I hope that is what you got it for. If I am not mistaken, this one is a bit larger than the one you posted years back. This one is roomy through the shoulders. To get a motorcycle jacket by this iconic company is just mindblowing. I wonder how many are around?
I found this write-up on the company.

On a side note, I find it interesting that a number of famous leather companies were started by Jewish immigrants, ie Schott, Grais, Roughwear, etc. We owe a lot to the skills many Europeans and Russians brought with them to the US.

This jacket has no lining, no zippers any more, but buttons, and is small. But cool
Vtg 50s Country Life Brown Leather D-Pocket Biker Flight Jacket Boys L Mens XS-S | eBay
Made in Australia. There are a couple of tears to the pockets so repairs will likely be required. This is a project jacket but one worth doing as the design is just knockout! Nape of collar to hem - 22.

I can't speak much to how current LVC compares to their output when working with Aero since I've never owned any LVC/Aero but they always have some unique colors and styles going for them. I do have a blue goatskin bomber of theirs from SS 2019 that I really like but it's admittedly way thinner than a Sheeley Monarch in Goatskin I also own. Maybe that's an apples and oranges comparison but anyway, here's a purple suede type 3 that might be more of a find than a deal:
