The Big Lebowski:
Are you employed, sir?

The Dude:
Employed?

The Big Lebowski:
You don't go out looking for a job dressed like that? On a weekday?

The Dude:
Is this a... what day is this?

The Big Lebowski:
Well, I do work sir, so if you don't mind...

The Dude:
I do mind, the Dude minds. This will not stand, ya know, this aggression will not stand, man.

This jacket looks like it would take my pocket money and my girlfriend. What is it? A Branded, maybe? Or a U.S. Made Co.?—I think they use those snaps.

My guess would be US Made. Snaps and the hide looks like the hide on my US Made vest.

I bumped into a "mall" brand from New York that seemed to push out some nicer-quality jackets as well. I found this one on ebay while looking to price one I picked up at an Estate sale locally. This is a Medium, similar to the one I bought and will be selling (short sleeves to me). I thought the design looked pretty cool...

We'll find out soon enough.


I hit BIN.

This is a near-twin to a US-Made CR I owned for a few years back in the early 2000's. That one was a two tone, black & brown. Really one of the heaviest, most comfortable CR's I have ever seen, so I'll be very excited when this shows up!

Nice!! I really considered it. Looks stout.

JMax - I really appreciate the posting of this jacket.

I've had a hankering for either a more "CHP-type" cross-zip or a nice, thick Cafe Racer for a while now. This should satisfy that "need".

If this weren’t so long I would consider buying it. I love the intensity of the blue. It may rub off on bags or clothing but he’s offering $171.

Thanks for removing my temptation. This leather looks like it's on par with the stuff that my long-lost TRD motorcycle jacket was made from. I wonder who made this one. Based on the snaps, I would guess maybe it's a US Manufacturing Co. jacket, but there's no brand info in the listing. US Manufacturing was another Massachusetts maker that doesn't exist any more, and based on this leather I wonder if they weren't sourcing from the same tannery that Natal/Natel/Walter Dyer/Kerr were getting their material...

Agreed! The Natal Kerr etc. mystery is on it’s way to being solved!

Interesting jacket. Sort of a mix between a JCP Sportclad and Sears Oakbrook. The red Steerhide label I have seen on JCP jackets made by Star/Kurland.
