Westride is Japanese. Made in USA, or at least many of them are.
Westride usually goes for around that price, they retail around $1100-ish mark? (Depending on the jacket)
Fair price considering it's imported already into the US
Here are some sold listings from Yahoo Japan which range around $150 to around the $700 mark.
This is that jacket brand new from their official store - http://store.w-river.com/shopdetail/000000004637/ct146/
So they're about $800 USD new currently. I have read that Johnson Leathers were the ones making these originally, but I think that was the older jackets before the label that you see in the ebay listing and on their website currently. They don't appear to say they are Made in the U.S.A. any longer. If anyone has more info, please share. I'd love to know for certain myself.
FL member eyewildshot claimed the jackets with these labels are made by Johnson.

Westride is a top-to-the-line garment line made for the Japanese market. In my book, they are a tier above The real Mc Coy. I have a nice 30's inspired goat aviator. Very much like the products Harley Davidson approved garments. They are so close to the originals. I have only seen one RMCJ that is just as good.

Just last year, an excellent jacket from westride was sold by one of our outstanding members. Those particular jackets are top-of-the-line and proof of what Johnsons from San Francisco can do. I wonder if Mr. Tam actually crafted those.
Here is mine but in size 44.

Did you search on our site? Sometimes better results than the search engines.

Friend, the gent who you referred on your post is a very well respected member of this forum.
Huh? Yes, I know. Did I say something you thought was insulting towards him? I was just sharing what I had read. BTW, I'm the one who bought that particular jacket from eyewildshot...

They're Japanese. Price is fair, I think. But not great.

No, since I got the Field Leathers jacket I don’t have any room for a new one in my collection. I’m pretty strict. I thought the Westride looked like a very nice jacket so I posted it. I’ve been wrong before though. Glad to see this one seems to be hitting a spot. I really like the design and sleeve activity it’s showing.
JL size 40 - No BIN or offer option, but a decent starting bid. Somebody who wants it could snag it for $145.

From the @tmitchell59 Sears catalogue posts I saw this jacket was sold as a Capeskin Cossack. Wondering if this is capeskin or steerhide?
