Who made these?

No clue who made these. Most do not catch my eye but I like how this one looks.

I just spotted this beauty on Rakuten (https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/en/spec...a1f7ab6297a17ab756fa24d0/19_1/lgk-link_search). It's a 42 in Mister Freedom, so it should fit true to size (i.e., not small).

It's a little bolder than my preferred style, but I still find myself tempted by it.

I always look at this style from the outside to the label, looking for something interesting, a cut above. we all know there are many in this style for sale, even the jackets labeled Levi seem numerous,. looks well made, nice condition and the 60s/70s Californian label. (It only becomes expensive when you add shipping/taxes. ) They made quality leather outwear through out their life which was 1930s till 1970s. I've had other garments with this label. Like all makers they followed trends, made for the market of the day. Their Golden Years jackets are a testament to their quality, innovation, they were one of the biggest players in their day. I have never seen a "second rate" jacket with their label. I know very little about this company. I've called out before and was rewarded. Some have more energy/knowledge than me.

I'm glad your have given it your attention. I quite excited by this arrival, though it will be big. Which gives me another idea.

Of course I am in line for @ton312 size 42, if he can find it in his pile! We are Brothers in Illinois, I'm just down the road.

******* ebay. I ask for a simple shoulder-seam to end-of-sleeve cuff measurement. Nothing fancy, just take a tape measure to the sleeve and tell me the results. Right? A 10 year old could do it. Instead this wacky pic is what I get... along with "hope this helps." Hitting my forehead against the wall here. Grrrrr...

I contacted the seller and is unwilling to ship the jacket! only "in person" transactions. Oh Well..

I guess I’ve been doing it wrong.

First time I’ve seen that technique. Interesting.

At least there is a photo... Recently I asked for some pics showing the way the jacket was measured, I got this answer :
"hi. i'm sorry but i don't take pictures of measurements. i'm afraid i don't understand the utility of it."

But the seller finally sent photos, and the measurements were ok. I don't buy if there is no pics...
